Children are happy because they don't have a file in their minds called "All the Things That Could Go Wrong".

I am not what has happened to me.
I am what I choose to become.

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.

Should you find a wise critic to point out your faults, follow him as you would a guide to hidden treasure.

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.

Try not to become a man of success.
Rather become a man of value.

They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them.

You alone are enough.
You have nothing to prove to anybody.

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

Everyday is another chance to surprise yourself with your own courage.

Happiness is an attitude of mind,
born of the simple determination
to be happy under all outward circumstances.

The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.

We all make mistakes, have struggles,
and even regret things in our past.
But you are not your mistakes,
you are not your struggles,
and you are here NOW
with the power to shape your day
and your future.

A disciplined mind brings happiness.

Worrying is like paying a debt you don't owe.

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

Think of all the beauty that grows within and around you, and be happy.

Rule your mind or it will rule you.
