There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
-Francis Bacon
Quotations
Happiness
Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
-William J. Bennett
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poor is the man whose pleasure depends on the permission of another.
-Madonna
But the happiest people are the ones who understand that good things occur when one allows them to.
-Danny Wallace
"Yes Man"
Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
-Epicurus
I think happiness is what makes you pretty. Period. Happy people are beautiful. They become like a mirror and they reflect that happiness.
-Drew Barrymore
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
-Bertrand Russell
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
-Epictetus
