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

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.

I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.

I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.

Money can’t buy life.

Fun is one of the most important – and underrated – ingredients in any successful venture. If you’re not having fun, then it’s probably time to call it quits and try something else.

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

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.

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.

I like the city. I like the concrete. I like big business. I like being a CEO of my own company and having a lot of responsibilities. At the same time, when I can go off with a backpack or off on a surfboard or even off on a run somewhere in the woods – that’s where I’m really happy.

If we chew every morsel of our food, in that way we become grateful, and when you are grateful, you are happy.

The most important question in the world is, ‚Why is the child crying?‘

Every device there is in language is there to be used, if you will. Poets have got to enjoy themselves sometimes, and the twistings and convolutions of words, the inventions and contrivances, are all part of the joy that is part of the painful, voluntary work.

My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

I had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.

There is not a truth existing which I fear… or would wish unknown to the whole world.

Bread without flesh is a good diet, as on many botanical excursions I have proved. Tea also may easily be ignored. Just bread and water and delightful toil is all I need – not unreasonably much, yet one ought to be trained and tempered to enjoy life in these brave wilds in full independence of any particular kind of nourishment.

The choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.

Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.

Every possession and every happiness is but lent by chance for an uncertain time, and may therefore be demanded back the next hour.

The palace is not safe when the cottage is not happy.

The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put – without delay, and with tenderness – back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.

For my career, I wouldn’t go racing if I didn’t enjoy it. I still need to have my say, and not just get put with a team and get told to deal with it.

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.

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

All the top players in the world play 45-50-60 games. You need that many games, even the strikers need that many games.

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

There are very few people who really appreciate my shows. People come to the show and they pay and they enjoy it, but I don’t really think most people really understand what they’ve seen.

How happy had it been for me had I been slain in the battle. It had been far more noble to have died the victim of the enemy than fall a sacrifice to the rage of my friends.

Marriage is the most wonderful thing ever.

The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker.

A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.

Life, if well lived, is long enough.

The events that I have attended to mark my Diamond Jubilee have been a humbling experience. It has touched me deeply to see so many thousands of families, neighbors and friends celebrating together in such a happy atmosphere.

Man’s unhappiness, as I construe, comes of his greatness; it is because there is an Infinite in him, which with all his cunning he cannot quite bury under the Finite.

When my dad founded our church, he used either a globe or a map of the world behind him. It was symbolic of what Christ said: to go forth and preach hope to the world. We believe in the cross, but we just continued with the globe.
