“The cause of most of man’s unhappiness is sacrificing what he wants most for what he wants now.”

If you go to bed at 10:00 and get up by 6:00 A.M., things will work out for you.

You can be smart and happy or stupid and miserable. It’s your choice

Be believing, be happy, don’t get discouraged. Things will work out.

I challenge every one of you who can hear me to rise to the divinity within you. Do we really realize what it means to be a child of God, to have within us something of the divine nature?

I believe in the principle that I can make a difference in this world. It may be ever so small, but it will count for the greater good.

Live today as if you were going to live forever, for you surely shall.

Life is to be enjoyed, not endured.

We live in a world where knowledge is developing at an ever-accelerating rate. Drink deeply from this ever-springing well of wisdom and human experience.

If you do not choose the kingdom of God, it does not matter what you choose instead.

Gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling. It can resolve disputes. It can strengthen friendships. And it makes us better men and women.

In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.

God will always make a way where there is no way.

Try a little harder to be a little better.

It is imperative that good people, men and women of principle, be involved in the political process; otherwise we abdicate power to those whose designs are almost entirely selfish.

Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality of happiness, and by no means a necessity of life.

Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.

Tranquillity is contagious, peace is contagious. One only thinks of the contagiousness of illness, but there is the contagion of serenity and joy.

Every man’s happiness is his own responsibility.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.

All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.

Sit by me, my beloved, and listen to my heart; smile, for your happiness is a symbol of our future.
