I've made a promise to myself to be a 100% healthy person if nothing else.

My health may be better preserved if I exert myself less but in the end doesn't each person give his life for his calling?

Clothes are my drug. I love Camden market - I have so many vintage pieces from there it's unbelievable. Clothes are really important to me they give me that feeling of happiness. I love being a bit free with it all and not giving myself rules.

I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.

Happiness was not made to be boasted but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy nor fear them.

I envy the happiness of others... I envy the sense of belonging... I seem always to be remaking myself.

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.

I'm beginning to understand myself. But it would have been great to be able to understand myself when I was 20 rather than when I was 82.

Obama has no solutions. Obama has failed the country and its great citizens and they don't like it when somebody such as myself speaks the truth about this - it hurts too much.

Myself when young did eagerly frequent doctor and saint and heard great argument about it and about: but evermore came out by the same door as in I went.

I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

Whatever I have tried to do in life I have tried with all my heart to do it well whatever I have devoted myself to I have devoted myself completely in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.

I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll be a great actress.

My life has been one great big joke a dance that's walked a song that's spoke I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.

Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.
