George Bernard Shaw

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.

Better see rightly on a pound a week than squint on a million.

When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.

Hatred is the coward’s revenge for being intimidated.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Man is the only animal which esteems itself rich in proportion to the number and voracity of its parasites.

Happiness, wealth, and success are the byproducts of goal setting; they cannot be the goals themselves.

Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers, and are famous preservers of good looks.

Be happy; without reason.

Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.

Anybody who thinks money will make you happy, hasn’t got money.

Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.

If you’re going to be able to look back on something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now.

The key to being happy is knowing you have the power to choose what to except and what to let go.

Man is the artificer of his own happiness.

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

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.

If you want to be happy, be.

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

The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.

Relinquishing the delusional hope that we can or must be flawless allows us to seek happiness in the place it can be found: Our real, messy, imperfect experience
