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.
Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.
Whoever is happy will make others happy.
