This site is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Alan William Smolowe who gave birth to the creation of this database.
How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure.
Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.
Alphonse de Lamartine, fully Alphonse Marie Louis de Lamartine
Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; common sufferings are far strong links than common joys.
