minds to be."

"Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad
memory."
~ Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), German-French theologian, philosopher, physician
and Nobel Peace Prize winner
"Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no
happiness without action."
~ Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), British Prime Minister
"If you get down and out, just get in the kitchen and bake a cake."
~ Jean Strickland (1932- ), American home baker quoted by Kim Severson in “Festiveness, Stacked Up Southern Style.” The New York Times, December 16, 2009. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/16/dining/16Bake.html?ref=dining
