Success and happiness are not matters of chance but choice.

Zig Ziglar

The belief that happiness has to be deserved has led to centuries of pain, guilt, and deception. So firmly have we clung to this single, illusory belief that we've almost forgotten the real truth about happiness. So busy are we trying to deserve happiness that we no longer have much time for ideas such as: Happiness is natural, happiness is a birthright, happiness is free, happiness is a choice, happiness is within, and happiness is being. The moment you believe that happiness has to be deserved, you must toil forevermore.

Robert Holden

Chance is better than choice; it is more lordly. Chance is God, choice is man.

Elizabeth Bowen

Happiness is the first principle of life. Happiness basically means well-being. It is always good and always a choice... We need to make the choice to be happy in a particular situation, just as it is, and at a given moment.

Alexandra Stoddard

When I look at what the world does and where people nowadays believe they can find happiness, I am not sure that that is true happiness. The happiness of these ordinary people seems to consist in slavishly imitating the majority, as if this were their only choice. And yet they all believe they are happy. I cannot decide whether that is happiness or not. Is there such a thing as happiness?

Zhuangzi

Happiness is a chance to talk to a friend, to hear good music, to have a good glass of wine. Happiness is a chance to be myself and to find people with whom I agree or who I don't agree but I can learn something.

Maya Angelou

The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice; their choice!

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.

Albert Camus

I do believe in choice, the freedom of choice and carving out your own happiness.

Sandra Bullock

Happiness, most often, is a choice. Make the choice to sit, breathe, and be in that moment.

Cathy Lamb

I believe happiness is a choice. Some days it is a very difficult choice.

Steve Gleason

Happiness is a choice. You can choose to be happy. There's going to be stress in life, but it's your choice whether you let it affect you or not.

Valerie Bertinelli

Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its finite resources as you process the world.
