At the end of our time on earth if we have lived fully we will not be able to say "I was always happy." Hopefully we will be able to say "I have experienced a lifetime of real moments and many of them were happy moments."

It is this intangible thing love in many forms which enters into every therapeutic relationship. . . . And it is an element which binds and heals which comforts and restores which works what we have to call - for now - miracles.

In the true man there is a child concealed - who wants to play.

The issue is not so much being loved but being loving which leads to the same wonderful feeling you experience when someone loves you.

People need joy quite as much as clothing. Some of them need it far more.

Laughter is a gift everyone should open.

Laughing deeply is living deeply.

You increase your joy by increasing the pure joy of others.

Joy is the most infallible sign of the Presence of God.

Love is above all the gift of oneself.

Although a lot can be learned from adversity most of the same lessons can be learned through laughter and joy.

Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also - if you love them enough.

The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.

A little work a little play To keep us going - and so good-day!

Blessed are the joymakers.

You have to believe in happiness or happiness never comes.

Someday after we have mastered the winds the waves the tide and gravity we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world man will have discovered fire.

A five-word sentence that could change the world tomorrow is "What would love do now?"
