The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
- Bertrand Russell
The classic questions in Christianity - which comes first, man's will or God's grace? But I think Russell has it right, generally speaking.
It's also an indirect support of my preferred priorities - love people first, get that right, leave the judging for later.

Yea, I think that's about right. Sort of like that whole faith and works thing. You'll do good works because you have faith. You'll be good if you're happy.
Nice find.
