Quotations
Happiness
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
Strength is happiness. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness.
-Daisaku Ikeda "Daisaku Ikeda"
With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
-Albert Schweitzer
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
-Albert Camus
What can be added to the happiness of the man who is in health, who is out of debt and has a clear conscience?
-Adam Smith
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 is no end to craving. Hence, contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Stay content.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring.
-George Santayana "George Santayana"
