Everyone says that my way of life is the way of a simpleton. Being largely the way of a simpleton is what makes it worth while. If it were not the way of a simpleton It would long ago have been worthless, These possessions of a simpleton being the three I choose And cherish: To care, To be fair, To be humble. When a man cares he is unafraid; when he is fair he leaves enough for others; when he is humble he can grow. - Lao Tzu

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life." - John Lennon
