Happiness

It's not the pursuit of happiness that makes us happy, it's the happiness that comes from the pursuit.

I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

I think that everybody in life should do something they love.

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success.

I think that we've been told, or sold, this lie that you have to have more things to be fulfilled.

Everyone knows that I love a cocktail.

I am fond of yelling out, 'Wow!'. It's an honorable expression of what can happen.

The only relationship that can make both partners happy is one in which sentimentality has no place and neither partner makes any claim on the life and freedom of the other.

I don't know what your destiny will be, but 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.

The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats.

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

To be poor does not mean that you have no wealth. To be poor means that you are satisfied with what you have.

One can be very happy without demanding that others agree with them.

It is truly surprising what a delight a really superior drug can be.

Happiness is not a destination, it is a manner of traveling. Happiness is not an end in itself.

It makes me happy to think that she is sitting somewhere on a bench reading a book I wrote.

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.

One day the sun will shine... and things will be good.
