"So many people are waiting for their happiness to come. It's not here yet, but they are waiting. It's like standing in a line waiting for your bus. "One day," people say, "my ship will come. One day, I'll make it. One day, I'll be happy." Ships come and go, and they wait for theirs. They think about jumping on other people's ships. They think everything. Yet, incredibly enough, there has always been someone who has pointed out the simple fact that what we are looking for is inside. " |
"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special." |

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. |

A highly learned man has two sources of happiness: Either he abandons all earthly interests or else he possesses much which could be abandoned. |

A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him. |
A quotation, like a pun, should come unsought, and then be welcomed only for some propriety of felicity justifying the intrusion |
A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life. |
