Living big and joyful and content is almost always the result of our finding satisfaction in life's ordinary day-to-day pleasures. And God must be fond of them, too, for He made so many of them for us to enjoy.

It's true; once you are a father, there's no turning back. Your heart strings as well as your purse strings are never again the same.

We're constantly striving for success, fame and comfort when all we really need to be happy is someone or some thing to be enthusiastic about.

Tell your wife often how terrific she looks.

Young love is wild and outrageous, laughing at moderation and blinding us to common sense.

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.
