Some days are just bad days that's all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day that's just the way it is!

I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God he doesn't promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy even in bad circumstances.

Getting pregnant wasn't easy and I found that devastating. I really beat myself up for waiting so long when I'd always wanted children and family had been the basis of my happiness my whole life.

I'm actually tougher on myself as I get older. It's a vicious cycle. The things that are important in life are the things that you can't buy in life: love health and happiness. I say that and I believe that and I try to live that.

So even though I consider myself a fairly upbeat person energetic and things like that I never do very well on happiness tests.

When you're in love you're so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have.

There is an old saying that money can't buy happiness. If it could I would buy myself four hits every game.

I have often met with happiness after some imprudent step which ought to have brought ruin upon me and although passing a vote of censure upon myself I would thank God for his mercy.

When I was waiting tables washing dishes or mowing lawns for money I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I was on my own path my own journey an American journey where I could think for myself decide for myself define happiness for myself.

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
