Justice is the only worship. Love is the only priest. Ignorance is the only slavery. Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now, The place to be happy is here, The way to be happy is to make others so. Wisdom is the science of happiness. Robert G. Ingersoll
About This Quote

In this quote by Voltaire, he describes the three main aspects of life. Firstly, happiness is the only good. In other words, all that you have or have not is a result of your choices and actions. Secondly, that happiness should be obtained now.

This means that your actions must lead to a better future and a more fulfilled life. Thirdly, the only thing that matters is yourself and it is your responsibility to make sure you have all you need in order to be happy.
