"I have learned that the happiest people
are those who think the most interesting thoughts.
Those who decide to have leisure time
as a means of mental development,
who love
good music,
good books,
good pictures,
good company,
good conversation,
are the happiest people in the world.
And they are not only happy in themselves,
they are the cause of happiness in others."
William Lyons Phelps

"If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world,
all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going,
