One thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Albert SchweitzerIt put our energies to sleep and made visionaries of us – dreamers and indolent… It is good to begin life poor; it is good to begin life rich – these are wholesome; but to begin it prospectively rich! The man who has not experienced it cannot imagine the curse of it.
Mark TwainI know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there’s purpose and worth to each and every life.
Ronald ReaganI like to make people feel happy and superior in their reaction towards my appearance.
Kurt CobainI’ve been fortunate to have had the life I had prior to Hollywood. I wasn’t starving; I was going to eat the next day.
Dwayne JohnsonYou can be obsessed with the bad things people say and the good things; either way, you’re obsessed with yourself, and I’m not – you can become unhinged so easily.

Kevin HartIt is with your aid, as the people, that I think we shall be able to preserve – not the country, for the country will preserve itself, but the institutions of the country – those institutions which have made us free, intelligent and happy – the most free, the most intelligent, and the happiest people on the globe.
Abraham LincolnIt is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Thomas CarlyleI must confess that I lead a miserable life. For almost two years, I have ceased to attend any social functions, just because I find it impossible to say to people, ‚I am deaf.‘ If I had any other profession, I might be able to cope with my infirmity; but in my profession, it is a terrible handicap.
Ludwig van BeethovenAct enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.
Dale CarnegieThe display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.

George Bernard ShawAccept the terrible responsibility of life with eyes wide open.
Jordan PetersonIt’s in responsibility that most people find the meaning that sustains them through life. It’s not in happiness. It’s not in impulsive pleasure.
Jordan PetersonI absolutely adore Christmas.
AuroraWealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.
Henry FordI think it is the height of ignorance to believe that the sexual act is an independent function necessary like sleeping or eating. Seeing, therefore, that I did not desire more children, I began to strive after self-control. There was endless difficulty in the task.
Mahatma GandhiI feel upsettingly de-natured. If Penelope Cruz were one of my nurses, I wouldn’t even notice.
Christopher HitchensTruths and roses have thorns about them.
Henry David ThoreauTruth has rough flavours if we bite it through.

Joel OsteenExperience is not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens to you.
Aldous HuxleyMy favorite affirmation when I feel stuck or out of sorts is: Whatever I need is already here, and it is all for my highest good. Jot this down and post it conspicuously throughout your home, on the dashboard of your car, at your office, on your microwave oven, and even in front of your toilets!
Wayne DyerSometimes we look back and 10 years from now we think, ‚Boy, those were great old days.‘ Well, you know, we’re living in the good old days.
Joel OsteenWith patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I’m going to press on for equality. I’m going to press on for the sake of our children. I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on.
Barack ObamaI don’t know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope. Causing people to have better relationships. I’m not leading them to some false God or something like that.
Joel OsteenWithout friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
AristotleHatred is inveterate anger.
Marcus Tullius CiceroLife is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Amy WinehouseThe only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain.
Karl MarxMy father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn’t possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.
Bob DylanWhen things are going bad, don’t get all bummed out. Don’t get startled; don’t get frustrated. If you can say the word ‚good,‘ guess what? It means you’re still alive. It means you’re still breathing.
Jocko WillinkAt the end of the day, I pray for the best.
DJ KhaledIf we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.

Alan WattsIf all our happiness is bound up entirely in our personal circumstances it is difficult not to demand of life more than it has to give.
Bertrand RussellI think it’s very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them. They need to know that everything’s going to be all right, even when you’re not sure it is.
Angelina JolieSooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you’re gonna die, so how do you fill in the space between here and there? It’s yours. Seize your space.
Margaret AtwoodIt doesn’t take much to make me angry.
Christopher HitchensIt is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

Bob DylanI’ll die a crazy old man!
Conor McGregorGiving up cannot be an option.
Greta ThunbergCreativity has got to start with humanity and when you’re a human being, you feel, you suffer. You’re gay, you’re sick, you’re nervous or whatever.
Marilyn MonroeI don’t like to beat people down. They need to be lifted up.
Joel OsteenThere are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.

Salvador DaliLove is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.
Emily DickinsonI seated ugliness on my knee, and almost immediately grew tired of it.
Salvador DaliI’d like to think that I’m a calm and sweet person. I tend to be very playful at home with my children, but in life… we have to fight our battles – our work battles, our political battles, our personal battles – and we’re focused.
Angelina JolieWithout discipline, there’s no life at all.
Katharine Hepburn
