Pearl Bailey Quotes

Don't worry about something going away; enjoy it while it's happening. And don't worry about something that's not even real.

Why be negative when you can enjoy life and be positive? That's something I learned over the years.

Relax! Life is beautiful!

The moment you wake up, right away, you can smile... You are aware that a new day is beginning, that life is offering you twenty-four brand new hours to live, and that that's the most precious of gifts.

Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight.

Concentrate on the wonders and joys of this life, and accept the very best which is your true heritage. It is not being an ostrich, afraid of life and not facing it. It is seeing the reality of this glorious life which is yours, and in doing so, helping to bring it about. The more clearly you can see it, the more quickly will it come about.

I learned you really do have to make sure you enjoy life.

Cynicism is tough. A cynic's point of view is really pitiful. I derive pleasure out of a lot of things in life. As long as I'm fairly healthy, it's hard to stay dismal for very long.

I'm living my future as long as you're living in the present and realize how beautiful life is.

No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy today, mix good cheer with friends today enjoy it and bless God for it.

We live from day to day and get as much joy out of experiencing as we can.

Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you got.

Today, I am blessed to be living a dream. And yet, if it all went away tomorrow, I know I would still have peace.

Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.

Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't.

My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.

You can be happy where you are.

I want to stay in the moment and enjoy the great things that are happening.

So every single day, I found something to be grateful for and that's a powerful lesson.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, 'Oh God, I've got to do this today.'

I'm all about cultivating joy in your life.

Be happy. God gave you a breath to breathe every day. You don't need to be mad about nothin'.

Anything can go wrong, but you can't think about it all the time. You have to enjoy every moment.
