"The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life." ― William Morris Topic(s): Happiness More From William Morris "I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few." "So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die." "A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works." More In Happiness "A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience."― Sydney Smith "Never mind your happiness; do your duty."― Peter Drucker "Genuine happiness can only be achieved when we transform our way of life from the unthinking pursuit of pleasure to one committed to enriching our inner lives, when we focus on ‘being more’ rather than simply having more."― Daisaku Ikeda
