wouldn’t be any life to celebrate.
– Norman Davies
Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.

Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.
– Lao Tzu

– Henri Matisse
Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, filling it with a steady and perpetual serenity.
– Joseph Addison
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
