Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
Optimist: Person who travels on nothing from nowhere to happiness.
Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.
People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
I am imagination. I can see what the eyes cannot see. I can hear what the ears cannot hear. I can feel what the heart cannot feel.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."
"If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it."
"My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it."
"To know is nothing at all; to imagine is everything."
"We live by our imagination, our admiration s, and our sentiments."
"The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze."
