"In every case, people cited as the source of their greatest happiness the times they made a positive contribution to the lives of others. The world tells our children that happiness is to be found in sexual pleasure, beauty, popularity, weatlth, power, or unending good health. They need to learn what aristotle taught ages ago: A fulfilling life is a life of virtue. You can't be happy unless you're good."
