Quote by Thomas Merton

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."

"The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image."

"Happiness is not something that comes ready-made. It comes from your own actions."

"Peace comes from a good conscience."

"Life is too short to hold grudges."

"A man's home is his sanctuary. It should be treated as such."

"The world is chaotic enough. At least your home should make sense."
