“The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have.”

“Being happy with what you have gotten starts with appreciating what you have.”

“We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Freedom is like that. It's like air. When you have it, you don't notice it. ”

“What if instead of focusing on what you don't have, you concentrate on what you've got?”

“Some people are born to make great art and others are born to appreciate it. Don't you think? It is a kind of talent in itself, to be an audience, whether you are the spectator in the gallery or you are listening to the voice of the world's greatest soprano. Not everyone can be the artist. There have to be those who witness the art, who love and appreciate what they have been privileged to see.”

“Happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
