I think happiness is love.
Few people understand the magnitude of the catastrophe that happened late in the 1980s when the Communist Party had failed to modernize the Soviet Union.
One has to be insincere and promise something which you cannot fulfill. So you either have to be a fool who does not understand what you are promising, or deliberately be lying.
My English is very bad.
In 1995, Russia virtually gave Chechnya de facto statehood and independence even though, de jure, it didn’t recognize Chechnya as an independent state. And I would like to emphasize strongly that Russia withdrew all of its troops, we moved the prosecutors, we moved all the police, dismantled all the courts, completely, 100 percent.
At a certain point, we saw the police cracking down on the Occupy Wall Street activists. I won’t call the actions of police appropriate or inappropriate.
Stalin is the most popular figure in all of Russia.
The truth is that all of us can attain the greatest success and happiness possible in this life whenever we use our native capacities to its greatest extent.
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s self to do without it.
Choose happiness, not success, as your life’s goal. If you become successful but aren’t happy, then what is the point?
What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?
It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.
What’s the use of happiness? It can’t buy you money.
Happiness and unhappiness are in the heart and spirit of each one of us: If you feel unhappy, then place yourself above that and act so that your happiness does not get to be dependent on anything.
I’m always smiling and happy.
A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don’t allow the happy moment, because they’re so busy trying to get a happy life.
The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.
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
I love people who make me laugh.
If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.
The unhappiest man on earth is the one who has nothing to do.
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.
