More quotes by Gretchen Rubin

Gretchen Rubin
Time waits for no ovary.
Gretchen Rubin
The number one resolution that people mention to me as something that's made them happier is - to my surprise - making the bed.
Gretchen Rubin
I'm doing a lot of speaking and talking about habits, which is this subject that obsesses me. That's a lot of fun.

Working is one of the most dangerous forms of procrastination.
Gretchen Rubin
Sometimes I think it's easier to think about being happier, for what ever that means to you then worrying about what is happiness and what would life be if I finally achieved this ultimate happiness?
Gretchen Rubin
Contemporary research shows that happy people are more altruistic, more productive, more helpful, more likable, more creative, more resilient, more interested in others, friendlier, and healthier. Happy people make better friends, colleagues, and citizens.
Gretchen Rubin
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Lower the bar. Actually spending ten minutes clearing off one shelf is better than fantasizing about spending a weekend cleaning out the basement.
Gretchen Rubin
Look for happiness under your own roof.

When Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's government fell in May 1940, the nation turned to Churchill. At last, his unique qualities were brought to bear on a supreme challenge, and with his unshakable optimism, his heroic vision, and above all, his splendid speeches, Churchill roused the spirit of the British people.
