Words worth keeping

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

Peace begins with a smile..

Promise YourselfTo be so strong that nothingcan disturb your peace of mind.To talk health, happiness, and prosperityto every person you meet.To make all your friends feelthat there is something in themTo look at the sunny side of everythingand make your optimism come true.To think only the best, to work only for the best,and to expect only the best.To be just as enthusiastic about the success of othersas you are about your own.To forget the mistakes of the pastand press on to the greater achievements of the future.To wear a cheerful countenance at all timesand give every living creature you meet a smile.To give so much time to the improvement of yourselfthat you have no time to criticize others.To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,not in loud words but great deeds.To live in faith that the whole world is on your sideso long as you are true to the best that is in you.

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
