A Quote by Scott Carpenter
It was a cherished experience. I feel I got the chance to see the inner workings of the grand order of things.

They don't come from going after them first to get the happiness, it's backwards; you go for the sense of inner joy, of inner peace, of inner vision first and then all of the other things from the outside appear.
