Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
“When
you find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when
you hang up on him, who will stand in front of you when other’s cast stones, or
will stay awake just to watch you sleep, who wants to show you off to the world
when you are in sweats, who will hold your hand when your sick, who thinks your
pretty without makeup, the one who turns to his friends and say, ‘that’s her’,
the one that would bear your rejection because losing you means losing his will
to live, who kisses you when you screw up, watches the stars and names one for
you and will hold and rock that baby for hours so you can sleep…..you marry him
all over again.”

“Pierre
was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in
order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but
while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.”

Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace
“I
don't know what good it is to know so much and be smart as whips and all if it
doesn't make you happy.”

J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey
“They've
got no idea what happiness is, they don't know that without this love there is
no happiness or unhappiness for us--there is no life.”
―
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
“Happiness.
Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.”
―
Joanne Harris, Chocolat
“All
I ask is one thing, and I’m asking this particularly of young people: please
don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, it’s my least favorite
quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they
thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind,
amazing things will happen.”

Conan O'Brien
“Happiness

is sometimes easier to be happy if you don't know everything.”

Alexander McCall Smith, Morality for Beautiful Girls
“Dance.
Smile. Giggle. Marvel. TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH. BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy
every moment of the journey, and appreciate where you are at this moment
instead of always focusing on how far you have to go.”

Singleness with Confidence
“It
is difficult to live in and enjoy the moment when you are thinking about the
past or worrying about the future. You cannot change your past, but you can
ruin the present by worrying about your future. Learn from the past, plan for
the future. The more you live in and enjoy the present moment, the happier you
will be.”

Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

“When
you connect to the silence within you, that is when you can make sense of the
disturbance going on around you.”

Stephen Richards
“Everybody
in the world is seeking happiness—and there is one sure way to find it. That is
by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions.
It depends on inner conditions.”
