Happiness make you smile, Sorrow can crush you.

If we want to find happiness, let's stop thinking about gratitude or ingratitude and give for the inner joy of giving.

Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.

If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe in lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack.

Letting go takes a lot of courage sometimes. But once you let go, happiness comes very quickly. You won't have to go around search for it.

We do not sing because we are happy, we are happy because we sing.

As we often tell newcomers at our meetings, give it a try—and if, after a month or so, you are not feeling happier and more peaceful, we will gladly refund your misery. And if you do give the path described in this book a try, buckle up, because Brother Rohr may just take you to places you've both avoided and longed for, to truth, union, joy, laughter, and, greatest of all, to your own precious self, here on earth with us, child of God. —Anne Lamott

If you don't know how to be happy with what you have, you will never be happy with more.

Remember, the first road to God is prayer, the second is joy.

We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul.

I have always believed that God never gives a cross to bear larger than we can carry. No matter what, he wants us to be happy, not sad. birds sing after a storm. Why shouldn't we?
