Happiness is an inside job....

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.

When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.

Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority.

It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five.

Oh, if I had been loved at the age of seventeen, what an idiot I would be today. Happiness is like smallpox: if you catch it too soon, it can completely ruin your constitution.

You get to a certain age where you prepare yourself for happiness. Sometimes you never remember to actually get happy.

I learned from a very young age that if I pursued the things that truly excited me, that they would reward in more important ways, like happiness.
