If the world gives you a thousand reasons to cry, find a thousand and one reasons to smile.

If you want to lead a pleasant life, be good to yourself; if you want to lead a happy life, be good to others; and if you want to lead an exceptional life, be good to everyone.

Wealth won’t make you happy. Power won’t make you remarkable. Fame won’t make you honorable. Education won’t make you wise.

Daisies that bring you joy are better than roses that bring you sorrow.

The world surrenders to an enlightened mind.The stars surrender to a joyful heart. The universe surrenders to a loving soul.

If you are angry for one second, it leaves you with only fifty-nine seconds of happiness.

If you have no one, you are poor; if you have an acquaintance, you are fortunate; if you have a friend, you are privileged; if you have a lover, you are rich; if you have a soulmate, you are wealthy.

One who is wise is rich, one who is virtuous is wealthy, one who is happy is affluent, and one who is loving is prosperous.

To appreciate pleasure, someone had to experience pain; to appreciate joy, some had to experience sorrow; to appreciate love, some had to experience heartache; to appreciate freedom, some had to experience fear.
