The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
- Joseph Addison
At the root of human responsibility is the concept of perfection, the urge to achieve it, the intelligence to find a path toward it, and the will to follow that path, if not to the end at least the distance needed to rise above individual limitations and environmental impediments.
- Aung San Suu Kyi
Those who reach greatness on earth,
Reach it through concentration.
- The Upanishads
