“Sometimes you have to go through pain to appreciate happiness." P.157 of "Two Weddings.”

“When you forgive someone who has hurt you,you liberate yourself." page 158 of "Two Weddings.”

“Happiness is like a bird. If it choosesto sit on your roof, you cannot capture it and put it in a cage.”

“Sometimes, if you want to be happy, you've got to run away to Bath and marry a punk rocker. Sometimes you've got to dye your hair cobalt blue, or wander remote islands in Sicily, or cook your way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking in a year, for no very good reason.”

“try to recall the person you thought you were and the moment you began to realize you are not that person, and try to grasp and appreciate the high quality of lunacy required for you to have ever thought you were that person.”

“disputing nothing is the first step through the difficult door of happiness”

“But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best.”
