Chapter 8: The Felicity of Virtue

"It is impossible to live the pleasant life without also living sensibly, nobly and justly, and it is impossible to live sensibly, nobly and justly without living pleasantly" -Epicurus

"Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy until his mischief turns against him. And a good man must suffer until his goodness flowers. -Buddha

_As ripped from the pages of The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt. This book is one of the best that I have read on thePositive Psychology movement/research/area of interest.

I'm ordering my own paperback version now, because my hardback, library version is overdue and non-renewable!!
