"You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need." ― Vernon Howard Topic(s): Life More From Vernon Howard "A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep." "To change what you get you must change who you are." "Beauty is only skin deep, but it’s a valuable asset if you’re poor or haven’t any sense." More In Life "As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don’t have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn’t matter as much as how you do what you do."― Elisabeth Kubler-Ross "Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts."― Jim Morrison "For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance."― Mignon McLaughlin
