Robert Baden-Powell Quotes

I do not equate productivity to happiness. For most people, happiness in life is a massive amount of achievement plus a massive amount of appreciation. And you need both of those things.

I think if I manage to juggle a personal life that I'm really happy with as well, as long as I manage to maintain balance, that's kind of the mark of success to me.

Life for me outweighs the game of basketball.

I have lived a great life. I am very happy.

If I keep God first in my life, if I keep my family and friends as second, and then I keep my occupation third, that's when I've found success.

My private measure of success is daily. If this were to be the last day of my life would I be content with it? To live in a harmonious balance of commitments and pleasures is what I strive for.

I think my life has everything, you know; it has comedy, has drama, has action.

I've got a great family, great career, great friends, and a lot of passions, which make my life interesting and fulfilling every day.

I am happy every day, because life is moving in a very positive way.

I believe the perfect life is the right combination between great things, great success and stupid mistakes or failures.

I am happy to say that I am living my dream.

All I want is to live a happy, healthy and contented life.

You can have your cake and eat it too and follow your passions, have a family, and be happy.

I am very lucky to be living my dream.

To me, 'success' is happiness and my top tip for happiness would be to understand and learn to use perspective.

The wise man knoweth where to stop, as he runneth in the race of fortune, For experience of old hath taught him, that happiness lingered midway; And many in hot pursuit have hasted to the goal of wealth, But have lost, as they ran, those apples of gold--the mind and the power to enjoy it.

For wealth to translate into wellbeing, you need a spiritual element within you. Without that, your success will work against you.

And I hope you find it, what your looking for, and I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be and so much more

I think the serious things really are the things that make for happiness--people and things that are compatible, love.... So many people are content just to sit around and talk about them instead of getting out and attaining them. As if life were a joke of some kind.

If I had not had so much ambition and not tried to do so many things, I probably would have been happier, but less useful.

I find more and more, as time goes on, these people I meet, they are starting to become these people I look up to more and more. Like Julianne Moore, also, on Crazy Stupid Love: kids, husband, priorities straight. Or Woody Harrelson's like that. Those are the people I really admire, and that's success to me: being able to balance that life and not buy into it. And do the work that you want to do and makes you happy, because you're lucky enough to do it. But if I never got a role again, I've got this incredible life.

Don't forget until too late that the business of life is not business but living.

The secret of fortune is joy in our hands.

The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.

Prayer alone will not make a happy life. A happy life must be built. You must act.
