Edwin Hubbel Chapin Quotes

This is not a bad life.

I'm going to go on just living and laughing and loving.

You've got to just be happy with your lot.

Counting blessings is better than recounting problems

You've got to enjoy whatever you can and forget about the rest.

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.

Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you've got.

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

Life is not always not always what one wants it to be., but to make the best of it as it is the only way of being happy.

When one's expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.

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

I feel like when you are really appreciative, it makes it easier to have a better outlook and perspective of life in general.

I think good things are happening to me and will continue. I am not optimistic about the rest of the species, but I'm so blessed, it's almost scary. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have a wildly sunny disposition. I love to laugh.

Things could be worse. You remember that, and you go on with your life.

Don't look at the downside of everything that comes along. It helps life move along so much smoother and nicer.

Our happiness is certainly mixed in with the tragedies of life. You have to find the lemonade. You have to find the silver lining in the middle of everything that happens in life.
