Maybe we should develop a Crayola® bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas®. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. 
~Robert Fulghum

A crowd of troubles passed him by 
As he with courage waited; 
He said, "Where do you troubles fly 
When you are thus belated?" 
"We go," they say, "to those who mope, 
Who look on life dejected, 
Who meekly say 'good bye' to hope, 
We go where we're expected." 
~Francis J. Allison 

 

Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you 
are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to 
someplace else. 
~Wayne Dyer

 

 

If you understand, things are just as they are; if you do not 
understand, things are just as they are.
~Zen proverb 

 

"He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the 
universe. 
~Marcus Aurelius

 

It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the 
future, and impossible to live in the past. 
Nothing is as far away as one minute ago. 
~Jim Bishop

 

The place to be happy is here,
the time to be happy is now.
