Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
There are those who give with joy and that joy is their reward.
-Khalil Gibran
Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings… It’s something we make inside ourselves.
-Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom
Being happy is a great science. If you are not happy, do not be confused. Happiness is hard to achieve.
-Peter Deunov
If you think happiness is a rare bird, you won't see much of it.
-Marty Rubin
In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance.
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
-Benjamin Franklin
It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.
-Thomas Jefferson
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
