Stories have always been the things that entertain me and make me feel happy and sad and move me and give me the experience of being able to live many lives in one lifetime. It's the best thing about being alive.

While teaching I also worked undercover in the lower courts by saying I was a young law teacher wanting experience in criminal law. The judges were happy to assist me but what I learned was how corrupt the lower courts were. Judges were accepting money right in the courtroom.

There are such beings as vampires some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane peoples.

In my experience it is rarer to find a really happy person in a circle of millionaires than among vagabonds.

If you will call your troubles experiences and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you you will grow vigorous and happy however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.

I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don't think I'd have got where I am today without all that experience. So my advice to young singers is to either join your school or church's choir or find one in your local area. Choral music at any level teaches you so much about musicianship and blending your voice.

There should be a sympathy with freedom a desire to give it scope founded not upon visionary ideas but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order.

It would be my guess that Madonna is not a very happy woman. From my own experience having gone through persona changes like that that kind of clawing need to be the center of attention is not a pleasant place to be.

We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.

Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.

My experiences have taught me a lot and I'm happy with my learnings if not with what I went through to learn.

I believe in the equality of man and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice loving mercy and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.

It is better that some should be unhappy rather than that none should be happy which would be the case in a general state of equality.

As long as she is talented enough and passionate about doing it herself then I will be happy and support her. I think I will be sensible - my parents said I could only do it if I got my education and so I had something to fall back on.

I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education.

Anyone who knows history particularly the history of Europe will I think recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

My dreams for the future are simple: work a happy healthy family a lovely long motorcycle ride and continuing the struggle to awaken people to the need for serious human rights reform.

I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.

Most of my actor friends don't believe it's possible to let go of it and be happy and for a while that was true for me. For the first two years I ached every day. And I had such bad dreams. But then I made the decision to start working on my little shop and all that went away.

Today I'm very happy about myself because I realized my dreams. I learned how to understand what people want.

It's my firm intention to whop cancer into submission and I truly believe I've given myself the best start possible by radically overhauling my diet and by staying true to my motto which is: Don't worry be happy feel good. The first thing I did when I was diagnosed was to turn vegan.

I'm a wonderful disaster. So are you. We're all a mess. We're in this culture that says take this pill and you'll be happy go on this diet and you'll be thinner have your teeth whitened people will love you more.

It's never been an issue for me - I don't want to go on a diet I don't want to eat a Caesar salad with no dressing why would I do that? I ain't got time for this just be happy and don't be stupid. If I've got a boyfriend and he loves my body then I'm not worried.

I am now in that happy comfortable state that I do not hesitate to indulge in any fancy in regard to diet but watch the consequences and do not continue any course which adds to weight or bulk and consequent discomfort.
