A Quote by Henryk Sienkiewicz
But I think happiness springs from another source, a far deeper one that doesn't depend on will because it comes from love.

Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for.
