Eleanor Roosevelt

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.

The only things one can admire at length are those one admires without knowing why.

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.

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

If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.

Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

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

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

What’s the use of happiness? It can’t buy you money.

Be happy; without reason.

What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.

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

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.

Happy is harder than money. Anyone who thinks money will make them happy, doesn’t have money.

It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.

Choose happiness, not success, as your life’s goal. If you become successful but aren’t happy, then what is the point?

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