Life, if well lived, is long enough.
People should pursue what they're passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.
The good life is using your signature strengths every day to produce authentic happiness and abundant gratification.
That’s why it is important to enjoy the journey not just the destination. In this world, we will never arrive at a place where everything is perfect and we have no more challenges. As admirable as setting goals and reaching them maybe, you can’t get so focused on accomplishing your goals that you make the mistake of not enjoying where you are right now.
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I should say, 'sacrifice almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.'
The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.
I think life is really good.
Beware the barrenness of a busy life.
Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.
I believe one must be happy in life.
The bottom line is, I'm blessed with good health. On top of that, I don't go around thinking 'Oh, I'm 90, I better do this or I better do that.' I'm just Betty. I'm the same Betty that I've always been. Take it or leave it.
Do you believe in immortality? No, and one life is enough for me.
I had my crisis at 30. I was actually really comfortable with 40. Life was in a better place.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.
Your life is supposed to feel good to you.
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life - full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living.
I'm not a career kind of person. When I saw new music, new trends coming in, I didn't see any place for me. And I didn't think about it as a career loss, because I was married - I have a great- grandchild now. The low points were when I lost people that I really cared about.
As a person, I don't feel insecure about most things in life. From relationships, friendships to work, I am quite at peace in my head.
The measure of a man's life is the well spending of it, and not the length.
That's the best thing that's ever happened to me, bar none, is having grandchildren and living by them and being part of their lives.
I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.
Happiness doesn't depend on the actual number of blessings we manage to scratch from life, only our attitude towards them.
The quality of my life was the quality of my questions.
