Happiness, hope, & freedom


There are as many nights as days,
and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness,
and the word "happy" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Carl Jung



To know what you prefer
instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer,
is to have kept your soul alive.
Robert Louis Stevenson



Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do.
Johann von Goethe





We must accept finite disappointment,
but we must never lose infinite hope.
Martin Luther King Jr.



The secret of happiness is freedom.
The secret of freedom is courage.
Thucydides
