If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it’s cool that happens.

If we say it long enough eventually we’re going to reap a harvest. We’re going to get exactly what we’re saying.

Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.

I don’t feel too much pressure. I only see an opportunity.

There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.

Do not think of your faults, still less of other’s faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.

If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can’t let our circumstances or what others do or don’t do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.

Marriage is the most natural state of man, and… the state in which you will find solid happiness.

On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we’re going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.

I’m a person of whim, and easily distracted. I don’t like multitasking. When I’m doing one thing, I like to do just that thing.

When people meet me, they say that I’m really kind – contrary to a lot of my music.

I’m an emotional person.

If women believed in their husbands they would be a good deal happier and also a good deal more foolish.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one – keep from telling their happiness to the unhappy.

Confidence is always a good thing to have going into the weekend. Especially where it’s quite difficult to put the lap together.

I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality.

Every man I meet is in some way my superior.

There are trees of a thousand sorts, and all have their several fruits; and I feel the most unhappy man in the world not to know them, for I am well assured that they are all valuable. I bring home specimens of them, and also of the land.

Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money.

I just have an enthusiasm for life.

I have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.

I am very happy playing and showing off my talent on the cricket field and have no plans to enter Bollywood.

The idea of personal salvation is intensely repugnant to me when it is not absurd. Imagine Roosevelt, the big brute, preserving his personality in a future state and swaggering about as a celestial Rough Rider!

Precepts or maxims are of great weight; and a few useful ones on hand do more to produce a happy life than the volumes we can’t find.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.

Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground.

Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life.

I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.

The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God – if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That’s what I think.

At the beginning when the child is coming, people worry the child may be deformed. When a healthy boy or child comes, people are very happy for a short moment.

The learned is happy, nature to explore; The fool is happy, that he knows no more.

You can be happy where you are.

We have a big appetite for putting people down but, at the heart of everyone, there’s enough room for all of us to succeed.

I could never identify with that word, ‚weak.‘

I don’t want to say anything negative about anybody or anything or anybody’s political beliefs. I’ve never done that. I’ve never tried to get involved in those things.

I can say I’d honestly rather be happy than have 30 to 40 songs that I’ve written about these thrilling, exciting, horrible, unhappy times.

I’ve heard there are troubles of more than one kind; some come from ahead, and some come from behind. But I’ve brought a big bat. I’m all ready, you see; now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

I am criticised for not celebrating my goals enough. I am very happy from within, very calm. I just don’t celebrate. I celebrate inside.

There are no big problems, there are just a lot of little problems.

I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.

When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.

Life well spent is long.

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

Although designers continue to dream of ‚transparency‘ – technologies that just do their job without making their presence felt – both creators and audiences actually like technologies with ‚personality.‘

Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.

I’m proud to play for Real Madrid because I have fun; when you no longer have fun it’s a sign that it’s time to leave. For now though, I’m happy here at the greatest club in the world.

There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down; and they will succeed, too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.

You gotta water your plants. Nobody can water them for you.

My friends ask me if I want more kids, and I always say yes, I want more; it’s the best thing you can have in your life.

Be a force of love as often as you can and turn away negative thoughts whenever you feel them surface.
