Asunción, Paraguay – 18 May 1988 | Do not seek happiness in pleasure, possession of material goods, or pursuing power. One is happy because of what one is and not based on what one has. Happiness lies in the heart and in love, in surrendering for the good of others, without wanting to get anything in return.
