Fame is indeed beautiful and benign and gentle and satisfying but happiness is something at once tender and brilliant beyond all things.
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
Everyone needs a certain amount of money. Beyond that we pursue money because we know how to obtain it. We don't necessarily know how to obtain happiness.
Happiness is a butterfly which when pursued is always just beyond your grasp but which if you will sit down quietly may alight upon you.
Politicians also have no leisure because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself power and glory or happiness.
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.

Well I'll put it this way: you can certainly say belief in God makes people behave worse. That can be proved beyond a doubt.
God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance renewed daily of a wonder the source of which is beyond all reason.
What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.
God as Truth has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.
