The greatest happiness comes from being vitally interested in something that excites all your energies.

The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over on this day his ideal will die.

It's horrible when people are only interested in buying labels because it doesn't bring them the happiness they think it will.

To play someone who is who they are because of the happiness and contentedness that they've known in their life is interesting because of sort of how banal it is.

It takes great wit and interest and energy to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish.

Tell him on the contrary that he needs in the interest of his own happiness to walk in the path of humility and self-control and he will be indifferent or even actively resentful.

The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

Let us develop the resources of our land call forth its powers build up its institutions promote all its great interests and see whether we also in our day and generation may not perform something worthy to be remembered.

What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one.

Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.

Little minds are interested in the extraordinary great minds in the commonplace.

In the summer we graduated we flipped out completely drinking beer cruising in our cars and beating up each other. It was a crazy summer. That's when I started to be interested in girls.

When I was a graduate student the leading spirits at Harvard were interested in the history of ideas.

Some go on to trade schools or get further training for jobs they are interested in. Some go into the arts some are craftsmen some take a little time out to travel and some start their own businesses. But our graduates find and work at what they want to do.

I first became interested in women and religion when I was one of the few women doing graduate work in Religious Studies at Yale University in the late 1960's.

I'm interested in the human impact of the giant foot of misplaced government. After all we encounter it every day.

As an artist I have an even more abiding interest in the compact between the Arts and Government.

I think people are confused about what the Tea Party is. I mean they were a broad cross-section of Americans who came together concerned about our debt and our spending. And they're interested in constitutional limited government. And so they're not one group of people. They're thousands of small groups all over the country.

When government disappears it's not as if paradise will take its place. When governments are gone other interests will take their place.

When people don't understand that the government doesn't have their interests in mind they're more susceptible to go to war.

A world in which government is burdened by historic debt philanthropy has limited resources and the private sector is only interested in its own personal gain is simply unsustainable.

But America was founded on the principle that every person has God-given rights. That power belongs to the people. That government exists to protect our rights and serve our interests.That we shouldn't be trapped in the circumstances of our birth. That we should be free to go as far as our talents and work can take us.

A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence the morality the justice and the interest of the people themselves.
