I'm trying to make a case for those people who don't have a sense of belonging that they should have that there is something really worthwhile in having a sense of belonging and recasting and looking at our modern history.

There are still many causes worth sacrificing for so much history yet to be made.

If a race has no history if it has no worthwhile tradition it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world and it stands in danger of being exterminated.

We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.

There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.

Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.

Do we talk about the dignity of work? Do we give our students any reason for believing it is worthwhile to sacrifice for their work because such sacrifices improve the psychological and mental health of the person who makes them?

The only principles of public conduct that are worthy of a gentleman or a man are to sacrifice estate ease health and applause and even life to the sacred calls of his country.

I have not been that wise. Health I have taken for granted. Love I have demanded perhaps too much and too often. As for money I have only realized its true worth when I didn't have it.

What is the worth of anything But for the happiness 'twill bring?

It is great happiness to be praised of them who are most praiseworthy.

It's obvious but perhaps worth saying that happiness has virtually nothing to do with the state of your intellect.

You do the right thing even if it makes you feel bad. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to be worthy of happiness.

Every man judges his own happiness and satisfaction with life in terms of his possession or lack of possession of those things that he considers worthwhile and valuable.

The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.

When you're happy you find pure joy in your life. There are no regrets in this state of happiness - and that's a goal worth striving for in all areas of your life.

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

I start to think there really is no cure for depression that happiness is an ongoing battle and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends but in the worth and choice.

True happiness... is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

Let us develop the resources of our land call forth its powers build up its institutions promote all its great interests and see whether we also in our day and generation may not perform something worthy to be remembered.

The unworthy successor of Peter who desires to benefit from the immeasurable wealth of Christ feels the great need of your assistance your prayers your sacrifice and he most humbly asks this of you.
