Friends have suggested that I am the least qualified person to talk about happiness because I am often down and sometimes profoundly depressed. But I think that's where my qualification comes from. Because to know happiness it helps to know unhappiness.

My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful difficult but led me to greater happiness and opportunites.

Well there are two kinds of happiness grounded and ungrounded. Ungrounded happiness is cheesy and not based on reality. Grounded happiness is informed happiness based on the knowledge that the world sometimes sucks but even then you have to believe in yourself.

Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.

It is not true that suffering ennobles the character happiness does that sometimes but suffering for the most part makes men petty and vindictive.

How to gain how to keep how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do and of all they are willing to endure.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.

I try something new every night. It's an hour show if it works I maybe try it a few more times and then move that off and try something new. It's a great workshop for me.

After people have repeated a phrase a great number of times they begin to realize it has meaning and may even be true.

Working hard is great being lazy sometimes is great but failed potential is the worst.
