It is reason which helps to get beyond the trivialities of our daily life. We become concerned about all that is happening, with all the questions that beset our times. It makes us participate in this world and feel personally what is happening on earth.... Our happiness or unhappiness is not determined by what happens to us in everyday life. However favorable our circumstances, however successful our enterprises, however much envied we are by our fellow men, we still may not be happy. For peace alone is the source of happiness. The more our reasoning throws us into the turmoil of lifes problems, the more we yearn for peace. We are led up the mountains until the glaciers begin to glitter before us. Then reasoning bids us climb still higher, still further into the light, still further into peace and quietude. ~Quote: Albert Schweitzer ~Images: me
