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

A good conscience is a continual Christmas.

Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Happy the people whose annals are vacant.

Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?

Human beings will be happier – not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That’s my utopia.

I only want my work to make people happy.

Right now I’m just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.

Sometimes I think my husband is so amazing that I don’t know why he’s with me. I don’t know whether I’m good enough. But if I make him happy, then I’m everything I want to be.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

I wasn’t sure of the exact mindset you should have when you go into a Test match. So I probably became too defensive when I played my first Test match. Short balls in one-day cricket, I have never thought of just defending.

The cut of a garment speaks of intellect and talent and the color of temperament and heart.

Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.

Allow children to be happy in their own way, for what better way will they find?

The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.

I noticed that when I touched the ball on the field, you could hear this shrill noise in the crowd with all the birds screaming like at a Beatles concert.

Does anybody really think that they didn’t get what they had because they didn’t have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?

I failed to make the chess team because of my height.

Who’s to say what’s a good voice and not a good voice?

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

Britney Spears was an incredible dancer. That kid was amazing.

Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

I have warned many times about the guaranteed dangers of betting with your heart instead of your head – big darkness, soon come – but every once in a while you get a fair chance to have it both ways, and the annual NCAA basketball Tournament is one of them.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.

I always dreamt of holding the bat and winning games for India. That was my inspiration to take up cricket.

Off with you! You’re a happy fellow, for you’ll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that!

In my heart, I am always a Raider.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

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.

Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered – either by themselves or by others.

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It’s good for them.

In T20, you don’t have time to get distracted – it’s so quick, you have to run around in the field, and while batting, you don’t actually think about anything else.

The best work is not what is most difficult for you; it is what you do best.

There’s no happier person than a truly thankful, content person.

It makes me sad when I find sisters who aren’t joyful. They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!

I’m always hungry to score.

Talent without working hard is nothing.

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn’t.

Were it not for imagination a man would be as happy in arms of a chambermaid as of a duchess.

To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea.

I signed for Mohun Bagan and then I got the news that Bhaichung also joined the club. The first day he met me he told me that I have heard about you and you are doing well. I told everyone in my family and friends that Bhaichung told me that.

Being happy is a matter of personal taste.

I know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it’s not where it begins and ends.

It’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.

Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing.

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

I was saluted by Alex Ferguson when I was subbed and that made me very happy.

Singing aloud leaves you with a sense of levity and contentedness.

Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don’t recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.

Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Fun is good.

I am fortunate to have played 15 years for my country.

Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s self to do without it.
