I love walking down the street and seeing faces and drama and happiness and sadness and dirt and cleanliness.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.
Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.
I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness.

Vegas means comedy, tragedy, happiness and sadness all at the same time.
Laughter has always brought me out of unhappy situations.
Happiness and sadness are just two eternal truths like day and night. A man of superior intellect is never affected by these emotions. They are not base emotions at all but a reflection of our thoughts, a reaction to our perspective on things we see, hear and do. Equanimity is not only desirable in a warrior, but a must. Without it, you are as good as dead in the battlefield.
It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.
Every man has his secret sorrows.

We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.
Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
Live by this credo: have a little laugh at life and look around you for happiness instead of sadness. Laughter has always brought me out of unhappy situations.
I think all tragedies are best told with some humor. You have to relieve the darkness to let the reader get through it. Also, that life has happiness and sadness mixed together. If you told a story that was all darkness, it wouldn't be real.
