“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.”

“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.”

“One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know.”

“Before I speak, I have something important to say.”

“Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted.”

“Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, and I'm going to be happy in it.”

“I don’t have a photograph, but you can have my footprints. They’re upstairs in my socks.”
