Happiness
/The secret to happiness is finding something you love and doing it well and then being recognized for it (someone, even if it's one person that says you're doing a great job) - George Carlin
The keys to a happy life: Have something to do; have someone to love; have something to look forward to (like a vacation). - From Rene Fritz
On comparison:
“The root of all unhappiness is comparison.” - John Schofield
“Comparison Is the thief of joy” - Teddy Roosevelt
“Happiness is reality minus expectations”
On taking responsibility for your own happiness: "My poor brother Ivan, who could laugh but couldn't smile… talk filled the evening of his job and of his wife, how they somehow cheated him, how they took his life." - Big Head Todd song
On smiles: You earn the lines on your face. When you're old your face will either easily crinkle into a smile or it will be stuck in a frown like clay.
