You believe happiness to be derived from the place in which once you have been happy but in truth it is centered in ourselves.

Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved loved for ourselves or rather in spite of ourselves.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved loved for ourselves or rather loved in spite of ourselves.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

To me acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

When we get to wishing a great deal for ourselves whatever we get soon turns into mere limitation and exclusion.

There is a kind of elevation which does not depend on fortune it is a certain air which distinguishes us and seems to destine us for great things it is a price which we imperceptibly set upon ourselves.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves we don't like that. It's great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you're worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.

One of the great strengths of the United States is... we have a very large Christian population - we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

We call ourselves public servants but I'll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good.

If the opposition disarms well and good. If it refuses to disarm we shall disarm it ourselves.

To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say and always a clever thing to say.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say 'We did it ourselves.'

Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.

If there's any message to my work it is ultimately that it's OK to be different that it's good to be different that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different behaves different talks different is a different color.

Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
