Famous Quotes & Sayings

Bryant H. McGill

Wish for the happiness of your enemies, for if they are happy, they are your enemy no more.

Jane Austen

I am come, young ladies, in a very moralizing strain, to observe that our pleasures of this world are always to be for, and that we often purchase them at a great disadvantage, giving readi-monied actual happiness for a draft on the future, that may not be honoured.

Carl Davis

There are no happy times at Happy Times .

Woody Allen

The only way to be happy is to love to suffer.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

If we only look around us, there are a thousand reasons for us not to be happy, and it is simplicity itself to blame our unhappiness on the things we lack in life. It doesn’t take any talent at all to find them. The problem is, the more we focus on the things we don’t have, the more unhappy and more resentful we become.

Nelson Goodman

For if as scientists we seek simplicity, then obviously we try the simplest surviving theory first, and retreat from it only when it proves false. Not this course, but any other, requires explanation. If you want to go somewhere quickly, and several alternate routes are equally likely to be open, no one asks why you take the shortest. The simplest theory is to be chosen not because it is the most likely to be true but because it is scientifically the most rewarding among equally likely alternatives. We aim at simplicity and hope for truth.

Linda McCartney

I don't need a lot of money. Simplicity is the answer for me.

Clint Eastwood
