Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it.
And out of the chaos, a voice spoke: "Smile and be happy, for it can always be worse". And I smiled, and I was happy, and it did get worse.
The sun’ll rise tomorrow come what may And you’ll feel better than you do today And in time you’ll cry no more I know ‘cause my heart’s been there before
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
I'm not happy. I'm cheerful. There's a difference. A happy woman has no cares at all. A cheerful woman has cares but has learned how to deal with them.
Never look back in regret, move forward and smile. Because you know now, what you never knew then.
Worrying is wasting today's time cluttering up tomorrow's opportunities with yesterday's troubles.
Yesterday is gone, forget it...tomorrow has not yet come, don’t worry. Today is here, use it.
We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, “Why did this happen to me?” unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.
The greatest regrets in our lives are the risks we did not take. If you think something will make you happy, go for it. Remember that you pass this way only once.
We think caged birds sing, when indeed they cry.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have cried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
There are things that are so serious that you can only joke about them.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
Sometimes I feel like I’m going through life in a daze. Like one day I’m going to wake up from this terrible night mare and be happy.
Happiness is merely the remission of pain.
All I want in life is to be happy. It’s like whenever I start to feel good, something comes and takes it away and I feel like I’m nothing again, like I’m dead.
You will never know true happiness until you have truly loved, and you will never understand what pain really is until you have lost it.
Enjoy yourself. These are the good old days you're going to miss in the years ahead.
I was drowning my sorrows, but my sorrows, they learned to swim.
I'm not like them but I can pretend, the sun is gone but I have a light, the day is done and I'm having fun, I think I'm dumb, or maybe just happy.
Ecstasy is what everyone craves-not love or sex, but a hot-blooded, soaring intensity, in which being alive is a joy and a thrill. That enravishment doesn't give meaning to life, and yet without it life seems meaningless.
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.
Once I wished for money, got it but I was not happy. I wished for fame, got it but still I was not happy. Then I wished for happiness and I got you. Now I'm not only happy, but I feel I have everything.
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.
If you cry because the sun has gone down in your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.
You have it easily in your power to increase the sum of the world’s happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them for a lifetime.
Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.
The secret of happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting one’s own way, more precious than being right in situations where true principles are not at stake.
There is no happiness for people at the expense of other people.
Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.
