There are two insults no human being will endure: that he has no sense of humor and that he has never known trouble.

It doesn't take many people to have a bad sense of humor to get in trouble at a corporation.

A sense of humor is a major defense against minor troubles.

It's part of the calling to at least do a few songs in the show that give people some hope. There's so much hurt in this world and... music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

When you are kind to someone in trouble you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire.

I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it.

The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.

About 15 years ago I went though a period of a year or so when I just couldn't find anything good. My wife noticed I was having trouble reading menus. I bought some cheap reading glasses in a drug store. I got home and suddenly all these books that weren't good were good.

I was a loner as a child and happiest at home launching toy rockets and aeroplanes. When I started causing trouble in my third year at grammar school Mum was really surprised. My parents sent me to a child psychologist who suggested I might have Asperger's syndrome.

Believe me you can get into a lot of trouble being sixteen years old in a foreign country with no adult telling you when to come home.

If you don't quit and don't cheat and don't run home when trouble arrives you can only win.

At every party there are two kinds of people - those who want to go home and those who don't. The trouble is they are usually married to each other.

When I read Thirteen Days I was moved by it. It was just a great time for the world in terms of looking back in history and seeing how we got ourselves into trouble and how we got ourselves out of trouble.

The voice collects and translates your bad physical health your emotional worries your personal troubles.

The trouble with always trying to preserve the health of the body is that it is so difficult to do without destroying the health of the mind.

Give a man health and a course to steer and he'll never stop to trouble about whether he's happy or not.

Every age has its happiness and troubles.

I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.

Man is fond of counting his troubles but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.

The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about is happiness enough to get their work done.

Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.

When a man laughs at his troubles he loses a great many friends. They never forgive the loss of their prerogative.

I do not want people to be very agreeable as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
