Happy Sayings 😁 in 2025

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.

It’s a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Happiness is a state of activity.

A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow. It only saps today of its joy.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

There’s nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.

The unhappy derive comfort from the misfortunes of others.

I’d far rather be happy than right any day.

Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

And remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.

It’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.

A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

The grass is always greener where you water it.
