Quote by Norman Lear
Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those

Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you dont collect all these tiny successes, the big ones dont really mean anything. – Norman Lear
