This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
George Bernard ShawDer Spruch darf mit Autorenangabe frei verwendet werden, da die urheberrechtliche Schutzfrist abgelaufen ist († 2. November 1950) Zur Autorenbiographie
This is the way you left me I'm not pretending No hope, no love, no glory No happy ending This is the way that we loved Like it was forever Then live the rest of our lifes But not together
This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
Tomorrow is a blank page, just waiting to be filled with your dreams... All you have to do is be yourself and live the story of your own unique life. Be proud. Be confident. And most of all be happy.
Vielleicht steht am Ende unserer Geschichte kein Happy End. Doch zusammen können wir viel bewirken. Wer weiß? Vielleicht schreiben wir die Geschichte am Ende einfach neu.
Vielleicht gibt es für uns ein Happy End. Aber um das zu erfahren, müssen wir den Weg auch wirklich bis zum Ende gehen und nicht vorher umdrehen, weil es uns zu schwierig wird.
We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can't turn the hourglass over.
When I was five years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life.
Wir war'n so nah Am Ziel schon Am großen Happy-End So klar dachten wir schon Dass uns nichts mehr trennt Wir möchten noch dran glauben Wie leicht es für uns wär So nah, so nah und doch so fern
You and I are gonna be okay. You know that, right? We may not be as happy as you always dreamed we would be, but for the first time let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is we are, and that will be better, okay? I think that will be better.
You smile, but you're not really happy. You ask, but you don't want to know. You talk, but you aren't saying anything. You laugh, but you don't find it funny. You cry, but it doesn't mean anything. You get up, but you're not really awake. You sleep, but you aren't resting. You're alive, but you aren't really living.
