Sitting behind the bench at games is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through because basketball is really most of my happiness. So when I can't go out there and exert energy and have fun and things like that it kind of puts everything else into perspective.

When I first found out that I was an Idol finalist I cried tears of happiness. I was just so happy and my family was there and the fact that got to see that moment and share that moment with me was just everything to me.

Since therefore no man is born without faults and he is esteemed the best whose errors are the least let the wise man consider everything human as connected with himself for in worldly affairs there is no perfect happiness under heaven.

I keep mementos from everything I've done. I've got my cab driver's license from 'Happiness.' I've got a pair of glasses and a belt buckle from playing John Lennon. I've got a pair of sunglasses from playing Andy Warhol... It's all in a box in the garage.

For me however that beloved glowing little word happiness has become associated with everything I have felt since childhood upon hearing the sound of the word itself.

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.

Shall I give you my recipe for happiness? I find everything useful and nothing indispensable. I find everything wonderful and nothing miraculous. I reverence the body. I avoid first causes like the plague.

I'm passionate about everything like my family and friends. Anybody I am talkin' to is gonna be bona fide real. There is no substitution for happiness. Period.

I can't believe it's been four years now and from watching that pilot we really all looked like babies. It's unbelievable just how far everything has come. I'm happier now than I've ever been on the show and in my life. I really owe so much of my happiness to 'Glee.'

It is work work that one delights in that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison.

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

A sure way to lose happiness I found is to want it at the expense of everything else.

Everything has its wonders even darkness and silence and I learn whatever state I may be in therein to be content.

I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.

I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.

When I was 20 I thought I was 30 - but I was so far from it. When you're young you want everything to happen now. As you mature you can look back and see all the great things you achieved with time and patience.

Almost everything that is great has been done by youth.

It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds though he risk everything.

The man who throws a bomb is an artist because he prefers a great moment to everything.

I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared.

See everything overlook a great deal correct a little.

The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.

What might be taken for a precocious genius is the genius of childhood. When the child grows up it disappears without a trace. It may happen that this boy will become a real painter some day or even a great painter. But then he will have to begin everything again from zero.

Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
