Eugene O'Neill Quotes

Look at my life. I ain't got nothing to be mad about.

No matter what happens, I'll always say that I've had a wonderful life.

Even if we can't be happy, we must always be cheerful.

Counting our blessings can transform melancholy into cheerful mass; laughter and joy are expressions of praise and thanksgiving for life's glories. When looking at the glass that symbolizes our life, we can view it as half full or half empty. The choice is ours... The more joyful we are, the more attractive we become. When we feel gratitude for our experiences, it becomes easier to see the good that always exists. When we give a smile to someone else, we are likely to receive one in return, and that smile reflects a happy heart that is open and receptive to what the good life has in store.

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 think that life is just too sweet to be bitter.

The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great, and they know I know it.

At first, I only laughed at myself. Then I noticed that life itself is amusing. I've been in a generally good mood ever since.

I'm a really, really optimistic and really, really positive person. My main thing is, 'Enjoy life. Celebrate life.'

A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.

You can't always look at life as a miserable thing.

Even when I'm sick and depressed, I love life.

I'm happy every day that I get up and I'm alive.

I've always loved life, irrespective of all the ups and downs that have filled my journey.

I don't ever think of myself as a dark person or a ruined person in any way. I just feel happy to be alive, and to be able to love.

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

You're alive, you might as well be glad.

Joy is always a function of gratitude - and gratitude is always a function of perspective.

Oh what a happy soul am I although I cannot see, I am resolved that in this world contented I shall be. How many blessings I enjoy that other people don't. To weep and sigh, because I'm blind? I cannot and I won't.

Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about.

The measure of mental health is the disposition to find good everywhere.

No matter our circumstances, no matter our challenges or trials, there is something in each day to embrace and cherish. There is something in each day that can bring gratitude and joy if only we will see and appreciate it.

My worst day is still a really good day. I complain, but I catch myself and count my blessings. I am truly blessed.

Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.

My day begins and ends with gratitude and joy.
