There is no was.

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.

Happiness isn't a destination, it's a mode of travel. Don't worry be happy.

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.

Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!

He who hunts for flowers will finds flowers; and he who loves weeds will find weeds.

No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy today, mix good cheer with friends today enjoy it and bless God for it.

Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for.

When it is the Lord's work in which we rejoice, we need not be afraid of being too glad.

She often told her children that they couldn't change the past and they couldn't jump forward to the future. All they had was today, and they needed to live it in such a way that they wouldn't create just another regretted yesterday. Mourning the past was never productive-she knew this full well.

I'm alive. When I'm eating that's all I think about. If I'm on the march, I just concentrate on marching. If I have to fight,it will be just as good a day as any to die. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. Life is the moment we are living now.

Because I don't live in either my past or my future.I'm interested only in the present.
