Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable, and others extremely difficult.

As a sportsperson, the best thing is people recognising you and loving you for what you do. For me, glamour is 100 people in the hotel feeling happy to see you.

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.

Empire and liberty.

I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand.

If… many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.

The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.

Investing for the poor requires participation from the entire community.

My wife and I are very affectionate.

I began playing Monopoly for real when I was 26 years old. Today, my wife and I have approximately 1,400 little green houses – each paying us monthly. You do not have to be a rocket scientist or have a Harvard degree to play Monopoly for real.

I think that success is having fun.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‚within the limits of the law‘ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Recommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.

It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.

Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.

Our vision and commitment is towards the country’s progress, its place in the world and the happiness of its people.

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

Men want to make women happy.

They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.

Saints can be happy under every circumstance.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That’s what inspired the ‚Off to the Races‘ melodies. That’s one of the times when you’re feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

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.

Life in abundance comes only through great love.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Nigeria has moved into low-middle-income, but their north is very poor, and the health care systems there have broken down.

Prospering just doesn’t have to do with money.

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, ‚Oh yes – I already have everything that I really need.‘

The best workers, like the happiest livers, look upon their work as a kind of game: the harder they play the more enjoyable it becomes.

With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.

Isn’t it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.

Christmas time! That man must be a misanthrope indeed, in whose breast something like a jovial feeling is not roused – in whose mind some pleasant associations are not awakened – by the recurrence of Christmas.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Peace is liberty in tranquillity.

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

I grew up in an era of pretty severe poverty. My parents weathered the Great Depression, and money was always a very big concern. I was weaned on a shortage mentality and placed in foster homes largely because there simply wasn’t enough money to take care of the most basic of needs.

Thrift is of great revenue.

Always have something beautiful in sight, even if it’s just a daisy in a jelly glass.

Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.

In England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances, invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.

A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.

Poverty is the mother of crime.

Liberty must be limited in order to be possessed.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life.

We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.

I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.

No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

In ‚Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education‘ and ‚Why A Students Work for C Students,‘ I reveal the secrets of the wealthy and what schools will never teach you about money.

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

It’s not always been a happy marriage. I guess I wanted a quick fix.

Being happy is a matter of personal taste.

There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty.

I don’t care about money.

I know it’s going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we’re in. You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money.

We Americans… bear the ark of liberties of the world.

Life is too short not to celebrate nice moments!

Of course, to have money is just great because you can do what you think is important to you. I always was a rich person because money’s not related to happiness.

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

Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy.
