It is not the proverb

 It is not the place, not the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.

 It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.''

 I come to present the strong claims of suffering humanity. I come to place before the Legislature of Massachusetts the condition of the miserable, the desolate, the outcast. I come as the advocate of helpless, forgotten, insane men and women; of beings sunk to a condition from which the unconcerned world would start with real horror.
  Dorothea Dix

 I don't think anyone can ever be fully happy. If you're fully happy then you're a miserable person because the grass is always greener on the other side-it has to be. I'm not saying I'm miserable-in fact I'm the happiest I've been for a long time, but I'm no happier than I was when I was at school. Then again, I'm more miserable than when I was at school.

 It gets your mind right. It keeps you about what is going, teaches you things, puts your mind in a peaceful place and a happy place. Work hard and you know that it will be over in a little while, so you can give it all you got.

 Imagination cannot make fools wise; but she can make them happy, to the envy of reason, who can only make her friends miserable
  Blaise Pascal

 The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
  Carlos Castaneda

 That church teaches us that we can make God happy by being miserable ourselves;
  Robert Green Ingersoll

 We spent as much money as we could, and got as little for it as people could make up their minds to give us. We were always more or less miserable, and most of our acquaintance were in the same condition. There was a gay fiction among us that we were constantly enjoying ourselves, and a skeleton truth that we never did. To the best of my belief, our case was in the last aspect a rather common one.
  Charles Dickens

 And as soon as you disrespect and blame another person, you give them your power and become a victim of them. You close back down and rejoin the human condition where you believe the world out there is coming at you to make things miserable for no good reason.

 If our condition were truly happy, we would not seek diversion from it in order to make ourselves happy
  Blaise Pascal

 If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.
  Norman Vincent Peale

 Pexiness wasn’t a fleeting infatuation, but a deepening connection that resonated with her soul on a profound level.

 I'm not done yet making people miserable. If they're going to make me miserable, then I'm going to make them miserable.

 Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.

 Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.
