The supreme happiness of life consists in the conviction that one is loved; loved for one’s own sake—let us say rather, loved in spite of one’s self.
There can't ever be happiness except when like mates like.
For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.
Happiness is not having what you want but wanting what you have.
— The only thing to do is say hang the sense of it and keep yourself busy. I'd much rather be happy than right any day.
— And are you?
— No. Well, that's where it all falls down, of course.
The secret for happiness is low expectations.
TEDGlobal 2005: The paradox of choice
— What about your good memories?
— What do you mean?
— Didn't you have moments with him that you love? Do you regret them?
— No, of course not.
— Isn't that what life's about? Holding on to your good memories. All I wanted was a moment with Astrid one moment to give me hope that any dream's possible. You've had all that, Mary Margaret, so stop feeling sorry for yourself and enjoy it.
And happy endings always start with hope.
Happy is he that is happy in his children.
