Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.

As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.

I tell my fellow reggaetoneros, keep giving it your all and bring more creativity.

We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another.

Go as far as you can see; when you get there you’ll be able to see farther.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.

As unique as we all are, an awful lot of us want the same things. We want to shake up our current less-than-fulfilling lives. We want to be happier, more loving, forgiving and connected with the people around us.

How can one take delight in the world unless one flees to it for refuge?

Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

When things are going bad, there’s going to be some good that’s going to come from it.

God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.

We cannot always oblige; but we can always speak obligingly.

Infinite striving to be the best is man’s duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God’s hands.

Find a job you like and you add five days to every week.

Someone told me something that stuck with me: ‚You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.‘ I’ve been living by that motto for a while, so I see where I need to be. Now I’m just backtracking and trying to get back up there.

The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have.

This industry has been really good to me. It’s been a great life. I’m not through yet. I’m ready when you are, Mr. DeMille.

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.

When the kids are laughing in the audience, I tear up, I’m so happy I did a nice thing.

I go to cancer wards, and I tell them guys, ‚I’ve beaten it. You can, too.‘

I think that success is having fun.

We will move forward, we will move upward, and yes, we will move onward.

When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ‚cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Get up tomorrow early in the morning, and earlier than you did today, and do the best that you can. Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.

Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far.

Defeat doesn’t finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he’s defeated. He’s finished when he quits.

I believe that one person can make a difference.

The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.

You’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged – ‚There’s nothing good in my future‘ – I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

I’m always trying. Between every book, I think, ‚Well now, it’s time to get down to the serious stuff.‘

To live without Hope is to Cease to live.

God’s desire is that we excel.

Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.

We never fail when we try to do our duty, we always fail when we neglect to do it.

If you try to fight the course, it will beat you.

If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.

I’ve arrived at the place if I’m not taking a career risk, I’m not happy. If I’m scared, then I know I’m being challenged.

My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.

Work aside, we come to New York for the possibility of interaction and inspiration.

I can live for two months on a good compliment.

The people you choose to have around you make all the difference. My family and close friends keep me grounded. You have to have a mind of your own and a strong head on your shoulders. Cricket is the most important thing to me, so the rest of it pales in comparison.

There is nothing, Sir, too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible.

We don’t want to wait on someone to hire us and give us a check. We want to create our own opportunities.

The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.

I’m here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don’t follow what you’ve been told you’re supposed to do.

You can’t try to do things; you simply must do them.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young – it’s an incentive to do the best I can.

If this were all to go away tomorrow, all the big success, I would still be very happy going from bar to bar playing music for people.

I’m of the school of thought where if you can’t sort something out for yourself then no one can help you.

True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one’s self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.

You not supposed to feel down over whatever happen to you. I mean, you’re supposed to use whatever happen to you as some type of upper, not a downer.

Success is not a stop sign.

There has to be something in every role that interests you.

We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
