Harmony Quotations
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

Henry David Thoreau

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?
Albert Camus
The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
