عندما تتكاثر المصائب يمحو بعضها بعضًا وتحل بك سعادة جنونية غريبة المذاق، وتستطيع أن تضحك من قلب لم يعد يعرف الخوف

السّعادة أن يكون لديك ثلاثة أشياء: شيء تعمله، وشيء تحبّه، وشيء تطمح إليه

حسبك من السّعادة في هذه الدّنيا: ضمير نقيّ، ونفش هادئة، وقلب شريف، وأن تعمل بيديك

لا تتوقّف السّعادة على الحظّ والبخت، وإنّما على العمل ومواصلة الكفاح الدّائم

تتوقّف السّعادة على ما تستطيع إعطائه، لا على ما تستطيع الحصول عليه

التفاؤل هو الميزة الأكثر ارتباطآ بالنجاح والسعادة من أي شيء آخر

أبقِ عينيك مفتوحتين دائمآ .. وراقب ، لأن كل ما تراه حولك يمكن أن يلهمك

لا طريق لتحقيق السعادة .. فالسعادة هي الطريق

إن أردت أن تعيش حياة سعيدة ، فاربطها بهدف ، وليس بأشخاص أو أشياء

النجاح هو تحقيق ما تريده؛ أما السعادة فهي الرغبة في ما تحصل عليه

السعادة مثل الفراشة، في حال لاحقتها فلن تمسك بها ولكن إن كنت هادئاً ستأتي وتحط على كتفك

السعادة ؟ صحة جيدة وذاكرة ضعيفة

ليس المهم أن تكون في النور كي ترى،المهم أن يكون ما تود رؤيته موجود في النور

إذا أردت التخلص من القلق وبدء حياة هانئة، فعدّد ما بك من نعم وليس متاعبك

احتفظ بابتسامة جذابة على وجهك حتى إذا لم تكن شعر أنك تريد أن تبتسم فتظاهر بالابتسامة حيث إن العقل الباطن لا يستطيع أن يفرق بين الشيء الحقيقي والشيء غير الحقيقي، وعلى ذلك فمن الأفضل أن تقرر أن تبتسم باستمرار

عليك أن تشعر أولا بأنك سعيد وتقدم السعادة لكي ترتد إليك الأشياء السعيدة

امنح كل يوم الفرصة ليكون أجمل أيام حياتك

سر العبقرية هو أن تحمل روح الطفولة إلى الشيخوخة، ما يعني عدم فقدان الحماس أبداً

إن السعادة تنتقل بالعدوى ..لا تنتظر عدوى أحد .. كن حاملاً لهذا الميكروب

الأناني هو من لا يستخدم كل دقائق حياته في تأمين سعادة الأنانيين

كثيرون يبحثون عن السعادة فيما هو أعلى من الإنسان، وآخرون فيما هو أوطى منه. لكن السعادة بطول قامة الإنسان

On Sept. 20, 2011, a year after I spoke with Rabanni, a couple of Taliban emissaries arrived at his Kabul fortress with a gift for his 71st birthday. It turned out not to be the truce offering they had claimed they were bringing: one of the Talibs had a bomb hidden in his turban.

Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake and help us see we are worth so much more than we’re settling for.

I'm not the coolest person in the world. I'm not the sexiest Diva or the strongest Diva. I know who I am. I'm not the most popular person, and I'm kind of dorky, and I'm someone you can see at your school or as your neighbor, and I think people like that.

Labels are actually not to make us understand things better: they are actually to ostracise and discriminate that what does not belong to the majority.

Things are looking up, and hopefully, I will be doing good roles in both Hollywood and Bollywood.

I was really inspired while I was pregnant and I wrote a whole album for my baby. I wanted to write a kids album that didn't annoy parents. I used The Beatles 'Rocky Raccoon' as sort of a starting place for my writing.

We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.

Sometimes I can be tactful and sometimes not. It all depends on the mood I'm in.

I've worked so hard for years, and it's just incredible to see my clothes in Dorothy Perkins. I got quite emotional at the launch.

The relationship between the public and the artist is complex and difficult to explain. There is a fine line between using this critical energy creatively and pandering to it.

When I was a teenager, I did a lot of pull-ups and push-ups. Every night before bed, I'd do 150 - in sets of 30 or so. Looking back on it now, I'm not totally sure that's the best way to improve as a climber. But it did make me a lot better at doing pull-ups and push-ups.

I think naturally, if you're an actor, there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive, and there's strength and confidence.

You mustn't forget the circumstances I have been brought up in, the little education I have had.

Delay is a bitter tonic, but it increases appetite.

In America, we're kind of lazy. But in New York, it's one of those places where you see the majority of people hustling. If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.

Not everyone is born to run a $4 billion company. There is no magic formula. I've learned, and I've grown by learning. That's why I've enjoyed being in business so much: It's stretched me.

But the one thing that I did do was establish myself as a good actor.

The average GOP presidential vote in these last five elections was 44.5 percent. In the last three, it was 48.1 percent. Give Romney an extra point for voter disillusionment with Obama, and a half-point for being better financed than his predecessors. It still strikes me as a path to narrow defeat.

I can imagine people in Third World countries looking at, you know, someone like Hillary Clinton raising $35 million for her presidential campaign that goes to really, you know, nonproductive means, and they see that, and they just - it's just really immoral, I believe.

Love is blind

I didn't want to become a professor or get tenure or teach or anything. All I wanted to do was get a degree because Louis Leakey said I needed one, which was right, and once I succeeded I could get back to the field.

My mother did not have a toaster oven and would toast bread in the oven, which I thought was stupid. They didn't do cars and electricity, that kind of stuff.

I'm a very promiscuous reader. My dad's a big science fiction fan, so I'd read 'Dune,' and 'Watership Down' and 'The Lord Of The Rings.'

Getting to know athletes from all over the planet is a big part of the Olympic experience.
