Happiness in Selfless Service

"Real happiness is more of a habit than a goal, more of an attitude than an attainment. It is the companion of cheerfulness, not the creature of circumstances. Happiness is what overtakes us when we forget ourselves, when we learn to open our eyes in optimism and close the door in the face of defeat. We win happiness when we lose ourselves in service to others."

Work with a Golden Heart

"All that is necessary to break the spell of frustration is this: Act as if were impossible to fail. That is the Talisman formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure towards success."

-Dorothea Bronde
