“Storybook happiness involves every form of pleasant thumb-twiddling; true happiness involves the full use of one's powers and talents.”
John W. Gardner
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
Buddha
“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
Stacey Charter
“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”
Albert Einstein
“Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it.”
William Feather
“Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like its heaven on earth.”
Mark Twain
“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
