Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes

The world has a great deal more to offer than money.

Length of years is no proper test of length of life. A man's life is to be measured by what he does in it and what he feels in it.

Happiness has a bad rap. People say it shouldn't be your goal in life. Oh, yes it should.

Happiness is a direction, not a place.

The whole purpose of life is to make yourself happy.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by.

The only thing that I am ambitious about is to live a good life. Full stop.

I have a lot of success and make a good living, but after while, you start going 'Why? Why are you doing all this?'

Life fundamentally does not change depending on work or fame or success.

The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose.

Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it.

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.

I have come a long way and learnt a lot. I read this quote about a year ago: 'Happiness must not be pursued; it must ensue.' It's made me realise that just being married again or something like that won't make me happy; the happiness ensues from how we live our lives.

I feel like I'm exactly where I should be.

I want to live a full life - period.

Success is following the pattern of life one enjoys most.

The goal isn't to be successful; it's to be happy. And so it doesn't matter if I'm doing things in New York or teaching high school or I drop it altogether and sell coffee. The goal is to be happy, and people and relationships are what makes you happy.

I think success is finding happiness! Everyone certainly has different goals in life, and things that are important to them, and also things that are not important to them.

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

Happiness is not the same as life satisfaction, while neither are identical to what we might call flourishing.

The soul's joy lies in doing.

I had lost my way for some time, so I need to do things that I am happy with. It's not about being the number one heroine or money. It's about doing roles that I enjoy. My biggest ambition is happiness.

That should be the measure of success for everyone. It's not money, it's not fame, it's not celebrity; my index of success is happiness.

I'm pleased with my life, with the journey.
