“Suffering and happiness are not mutually exclusive.”

“Happiness depends not on things around me, but on my attitude. Alfred MontapertThe monument of a great man is not of granite or marble or bronze. It consists of his goodness, his deeds, his love and his compassion. Alfred Montapert No better words than “thank you” have yet been discovered to express the sincere gratitude of one’s heart, when the two words are sincerely spoken. Alfred MontapertThe man or woman you really love will never grow old to you. Through the wrinkles of time, through the bowed frame of years, you will always see the dear face and feel the warm heart union of eternal love.Alfred MontapertThe finest piece of mechanism in all the universe is the brain of man. The wise person develops his brain and opens his mind to the genius and spirit of the world’s greatest ideas. He will feel inspired with the purest and noblest thoughts that have ever animated the spirit of humanity. Alfred Montapert.”

“It’s really hard to be angry when you’re grateful.”

“The happiest people are not those who have the most, but those who are the most grateful for what they have.”

“There’s no risk on the path to blissBe your own activist Imagine altering the process of thoughts to positive and passionate Honing in on habits of happiness”

“An attitude of gratitude is the best outfit to wear when looking for success and happiness.”

“The more we think we need, the less we get. The less we say we need, the more we have.”

“You cannot, at the very same time, be grateful and unhappy, or ungrateful and happy.”

“Are you what is called a lucky man? Well, you are sad every day. Each day has its great grief or its little care. Yesterday you were trembling for the health of one who is dear to you, today you fear for your own; tomorrow it will be an anxiety about money, the next day the slanders of a calumniator, the day after the misfortune of a friend; then the weather, then something broken or lost, then a pleasure for which you are reproached by your conscience or your vertebral column; another time, the course of public affairs. Not to mention heartaches. And so on. One cloud is dissipated, another gathers. Hardly one day in a hundred of unbroken joy and sunshine. And you are of that small number who are lucky! As for other men, stagnant night is upon them.”

“No one can obtain felicity by pursuit. This explains why one of the elements of being happy is the feeling that a debt of gratitude is owed, a debt impossible to pay. Now, we do not owe gratitude to ourselves. To be conscious of gratitude is to acknowledge a gift.”

“Living the dream.”

“Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.”

“Gratitude always comes into play; research shows that people are happier if they are grateful for the positive things in their lives, rather than worrying about what might be missing.”
