William James

The sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, to look round cheerfully, and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there. If such conduct does not make you soon feel cheerful, nothing else on that occasion can. So to feel brave, act as if we were brave, use all our will to that end, and a courage-fit will very likely replace the fit of fear.

William James

If there is one thing that is really cheerful in the world, it is cheerfulness. I have noticed it often. And I have noticed that when a man is right down cheerful, he is seldom unhappy for the time being. Such is the nature of man.

Mark Twain

Remain cheerful, For nothing destructive can pierce through The solid wall of cheerfulness.

Sri Chinmoy

Cheerfulness in most cheerful people is the rich and satisfying result of strenuous discipline.

Edwin Percy Whipple

If I only had 12 years left to live, I'd want to live it as a member of Congress because that was the 12 longest years of my life.

Mike Pence

We are all here on this planet, as it were, as tourists. None of us can live here forever. The longest we might live is a hundred years. So while we are here we should try to have a good heart and to make something positive and useful of our lives. Whether we live just a few years or a whole century, it would be truly regrettable and sad if we were to spend that time aggravating the problems that afflict other people, animals, and the environment. The most important things is to be a good human being.

Dalai Lama

Cheerfulness is an offshoot of goodness and of wisdom.

Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life. They appear so while they are passing; they seem to have been so when we look back on them; and they take up more room in our memory than all the years that succeed them.

Robert Southey

You've achieved cheerfulness the day you realize that no matter what's happening around you, being anything other than cheerful will not make it better.

Tony Robbins

God's goodness is the root of all goodness; and our goodness, if we have any, springs out of His goodness.

William Tyndale

Actions seems to follow feeling, but really actions and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. Thus the sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.

William James

The ability to look at certain patterns with regards to urban fashion, with regards to swagger, with regards to cultural hegemony, with regards to the ways in which young people look at resistance culture as a pattern that should be mimicked and admired.

Kehinde Wiley

We make every effort to see that our actions live up to our words and be vigilant with regards to our behavior.

Thomas Sankara

The human body is a steed that goes freest and longest under a light rider, and the lightest of all riders is a cheerful heart.

John Burroughs

So I say, “Live and let live.” That’s my motto. “Live and let live.” And anyone who can’t go along with that, take him outside and shoot the motherfucker. It’s a simple philosophy, but it’s always worked in our family.

George Carlin
