Quotations
Happiness
-Dhammapada " Dhammapada 194"
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
Why should we build our happiness on the opinions of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
-Jean Jacques Rousseau
"The Social Contract and Discourses"
Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.
-Edward G. Bulwer Lytton
Everyone speaks of it, few know it.
-Marie Jeanne P. Roland
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"
Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.
-George Bernard Shaw
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
-George Bernard Shaw
Yesterday I was sad, today I am happy! Yesterday I had a problem; today I still have the same problem! But today I changed the way I look at it!
-C. Joy Bell C.
