Happiness is not found in serenity, tranquility or surrealism. It is found in harmony of thoughts, actions, and reality.

I tell anyone who will listen to me: On a cruise, you can be with all these people, or you can be by yourself. You can find tranquility, you can find party, you can find new friends. I'm a cruise convert.

In life, we like tranquility; in books, we love tension.

I have recently been able to see the new world - the quiet, the tranquility and the freedom it will bring with it. This is very comforting knowledge for me because I already know that what I envision eventually becomes a reality.

Taxes, well laid and well spent, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and promote the general welfare. Taxes protect property and the environment; taxes make business possible. Taxes pay for roads and schools and bridges and police and teachers. Taxes pay for doctors and nursing homes and medicine.

It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.

We prefer self-government with danger to servitude in tranquility.

We are all familiar with the dove carrying an olive branch as a peace offering. The jewelry I've created pays tribute both to the messenger's noble mission and gardens as a refuge of peace and tranquility.

It is tranquil people who accomplish much.

Nothing but stillness can remain when hearts are full Of their own sweetness, bodies of their loveliness.

If you want inner peace find it in solitude, not speed, and if you would find yourself, look to the land from which you came and to which you go.

There is no joy but calm.

We are used to the actions of human beings, not to their stillness.

The world is fleeting; all things pass away; Or is it we that pass and they that stay?

When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.

No one can achieve Serenity until the glare of passion is past the meridian.

Tranquillity! thou better name Than all the family of Fame.

There's nought, no doubt, so much the spirit calms As rum and true religion.

Calm's not life's crown, though calm is well.

Back of tranquility lies always conquered unhappiness.
