So is cheerfulness, or good temper, the more it is spent, the more remains.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Gratitude is the way to happiness.

Think of what you have rather than of what you lack. Of the things you have, select the best and then reflect how eagerly you would have sought them if you did not have them.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

No duty is more urgent than giving thanks.

We don’t need more to be thankful for, we just need to be more thankful.

Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.

A very little key will open a very heavy door.

A burning desire is the greatest motivator of every human action. The desire for success implants ''success consciousness'' which, in turn, creates a vigorous and ever-increasing ''habit of success.''

Surely human affairs would be far happier if the power in men to be silent were the same as that to speak. But experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

You are forgiven for your happiness and your successes only if you generously consent to share them.
