Eleanor Roosevelt

Each time you learn something new you must readjust the whole framework of your knowledge

What you don’t do can be a destructive force.

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.

When you adopt the standards and the values of someone else… you surrender your own integrity. You become, to the extent of your surrender, less of a human being.

Women are like tea bags. You never know how strong they are until they are in hot water.

I have never felt that anything really mattered but knowing that you stood for the things in which you believed and had done the very best you could.

If you let go a little you will have a little happiness. If you let go completely you will be free.

If happiness is what you’re after, you’re gonna be let down frequently and you’re gonna be unhappy much of your time. Joy though, joy is the feeling that we have doing what we are fashioned to do, no matter the outcome.

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won’t have to haunt for happiness

One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.

A lifetime of happiness? No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.

I have to plan my happiness. That’s the thing, we think happiness just happens and it can, but you’ve got to work in some happiness too.

If you are not happy every morning when you get up, leave for work, or start to work at home, and are not enthusiastic about doing that, you will not be successful.

The secret of happiness? Live life in the slow lane.

It’s time for you to claim the happiness that you deserve in your life.

I’ve found happiness in my work, but not in my private life. I had to take from my private life to make my public life successful. I had to make a lot of sacrifices. I was happy in Cardiff. I had a great time. Every Thursday there was a factory club; darts, dancing. I was happy until success entered my life, and then it was all downhill. Success spoilt me. It took away my happiness. My success became a barrier with my family. They couldn’t relate to me, and I couldn’t relate to them.

It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.

You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him.

I think happiness is love.
