Michael Clarke Duncan Quotes

I think if I heard someone else talking about their life, describing all the problems I've had, they'd look like they were through. Done. But there's something about me - I'm smiling. Those things are really not bad enough to put me in a slump. I'm smiling with the opportunity to wake up every morning.

That’s it?” Jason asked. “You spent an hour talking about how lucky you were to be dying?” No, not dying, Son. Living.

I wake up every morning literally with a smile on my face, grateful for another day I never thought I'd see.

We must laugh before we are happy, for fear we die before we laugh at all.

I have worries and fears just like everybody else. But I have every reason to wake up each morning and be very happy.

I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.

You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.

Try to have a good day today, wherever you are, whatever you do, whoever is near, if no one is near. Try to be happy, because you may not see tomorrow. There is someone this morning, who didn't wake up, who will never see this day. Try to feel lucky that this is not you.

My typical day is I wake up and appreciate that I can still wake up.

You gotta be happy when you wake up in the morning and look at what's next to ya. You wanna just hop on it again. That's how I feel. That's what life is about. Because when you leave the house, it's all misery anyway.

You wake up every morning with a smile on your face because you've got a new day you never expected to have. And there's a sense of wonderment. Nothing short of magical.

Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday.

To me, everything is wonderful. Life is wonderful.

You get into your late fifties, people start falling like flies all around you. I don't take life for granted any more. I'm really glad to be here.

Life is beautiful, what do you think? In the morning I say, 'Ah, I am alive still!' All my friends die already. I am alive. It is fantastic.

'Biutiful' is not about death. It's about life. It's a hymn to life.

Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.

I like to stay happy, and I like to live life light and make the best of life.

Ageing's a difficult thing, moving closer to death, but it's okay. I've had a good time living, so I'm gonna have a good time dying.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

And I'm a really happy person, I enjoy life. I think you see that on people. I think there's nothing more aging than misery.

Laughter and joy are part of the beauty of life.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

I'm awake as soon as the sun crests the eastern hills. I guess I'm motivated because I love just about everything about my life - the writing, the many critters, the art, and all the rest.

I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'
