Strength is happiness. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness.
-Daisaku Ikeda "Daisaku Ikeda"
Strength is happiness. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness.
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
Let us live happily, we who have no impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction not from satisfaction of vitals or body.
The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.
-Bertrand Russell
Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.
-George Bernard Shaw
If you can have everything at fifty that you wanted when you were fifteen, you're happy.
-Alfred Bester
"The Stars My Destination"
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran
Poor is the man whose pleasure depends on the permission of another.
-Madonna
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be
-Marcel Pagnol
