Happiness grows at our proverb

 Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.
  Douglas William Jerrold

 Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in stranger's gardens.
  Douglas William Jerrold

 Then We cause to grow thereby gardens of palm trees and grapes for you; you have in them many fruits and from them do you eat; / And a tree that grows out of Mount Sinai which produces oil and a condiment for those who eat.

 The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.

 And We make therein gardens of palms and grapevines and We make springs to flow forth in it, / That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands did not make it; will they not then be grateful? / Glory be to Him Who created pairs of all things, of what the earth grows, and of their kind and of what they do not know.

 In the last two or three years almost 100% of the gardens we've eradicated are Mexican drug cartel gardens, ... It's alarming if you think about it.

 Bee gardens can help, but their impacts will depend upon the number and size of gardens in an area.

 Any happiness that you can give to others will result in happiness for yourself in the end. Man must realize that he cannot get anything without sharing it with humanity around him. So, you must believe that happiness of the people around you will lead to your own happiness in due course.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library: a company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years.... The thought which they did not uncover to their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 By foreign hands thy humble grave adorned; By strangers honored, and by strangers mourned.

 All war must be just the killing of strangers against whom you feel no personal animosity; strangers whom, in other circumstances, you would help if you found them in trouble, and who would help you if you needed it
  Mark Twain

 The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will root deeply inside us and give inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need of no outward stimulus.
  Billy Graham

 Our very lives depend on the ethics of strangers, and most of us are always strangers to other people.

 I write for myself and strangers. The strangers, dear readers, are an after-thought.
  Gertrude Stein

 False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sensible, and that happiness is always shared.
  Charles de Montesquieu
