Many people value criticism in the early stage of a relationship, but become allergic to it over time. Remember this: No one can survive in a marriage (at least not happily) if they feel more judged than admired. Your partner won't make use of your constructive criticism if there's not a surrounding climate of admiration and respect.
Harriet Lerner

Do you want to live happily? Travel with two bags, one for giving, the other for receiving.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Why does it have to be so hard? Why can't it be a happily-ever-after ride-into-the-sunset feeling all the time?
Rick Riordan
Image
The times that tried men's souls are over-and the greatest and completest revolution the world ever knew, gloriously and happily accomplished.
Thomas Paine
Image
It's very healthy for a young girl to be deterred from promiscuity by fear of contracting a painful, incurable disease, or cervical cancer, or sterility, or the likelihood of giving birth to a dead, blind or brain-damaged baby (even ten years later when she may be happily married).
Phyllis Schlafly
Image
Books ought to have good endings.How would this do: and they all settled down and lived together happily ever after?
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
True love is taking the risk that it won't be a happily-ever-after. True love is joining hands with the man who loves you for who you are, and saying, I'm not afraid to believe in you.

I just read a book on how to get control of my time and therefore of my life. My time has always had a tendency to slip away from me and do as it pleases. My life follows it, like a puppy after an untrained bird dog. Come night, my life shows up, usually covered with mud and full of stickers, exhausted but grinning happily. My time never returns.
Patrick F. McManus

Nothing funny about happy people. I don't know, you just look at a situation or a life, and you can kind of pick up the areas of conflict and delve in there, because that's where the most story is. If someone's happily married for 20 years, that's great, but it's not that funny.

No space, no time, no gravity, no electromagnetism, no particles. Nothing. We are back where Plato, Aristotle and Parmenides struggled with the great questions: How Come the Universe, How Come Us, How Come Anything? But happily also we have around the answer to these questions. That's us.
John Archibald Wheeler
Image
To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.
David Byrne
Image
I think we deserve a happily-ever-after. If anyone ever did, it's us.
Jodi Picoult
Image
The Divine rejoices in your being happy. God, or the Creation, is so happy when you are happy. When you dance, sing, and jump up and down happily, that is true prayer, that is true meditation. Meditation is a fountain of joy, an ecstasy and Divine enjoys that more. Divine is not fond of your suffering.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

I'm a happily declared chocoholic. I keep it everywhere, even my nightstand.
Joyce Giraud
Image
Happiness, you see, its just an illusion of Fate, a heavenly sleight of hand designed to make you believe in fairy tales. But there's no happily ever after. You'll only find happy endings in books. Some books.
Ellen Hopkins
Image
Put a smile on your face. Don't sit in the waiting room of life. Go do something, happily.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I have seen white settlers in Africa who had sworn that they would never sit down to table with those smelly blacks sit down quite happily with half-nude tribesmen once a country achieves independence. It is the context of power which changes behavior and transmutes antipathy into sympathy.
Lewis Nkosi
Image
I had reconciled myself to being happily out to pasture, a bit.
Elizabeth McGovern

As much as I am a huge soccer fan, music just kills it when it comes to importance. I could go to a desert island without a football and survive happily, but if I had to go without music, I think I'd end up killing myself. It fuels my soul. It always has.
Joe Elliott
Image
I'm delighted that gay people now want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.
Iris Apfel
Image
Nixon was a professional politician, and I despised everything he stood for -- but if he were running for president this year against the evil Bush-Cheney gang, I would happily vote for him.
Hunter S. Thompson
Image
All stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you. Especially do all stories of monogamy end in death, and your man who is monogamous while he often lives most happily, dies in the most lonely fashion.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Yet a real artist, I've noticed, will survive anything. (Even praise, I happily suspect.)
J. D. Salinger
Image
In fairy tales there's always one person who is made for one other, and they find each other and live happily ever after. Cal was my person. I couldn't imagine anyone more perfect. Yet what kind of sick fairy tale would it be if he was the one made exactly right for me and I wasn't right for him?
