"Meditations"
If you think happiness is a rare bird, you won't see much of it.
-Marty Rubin
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"
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
-Robert Frost
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
-J. M. Barrie
Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
-Mary Baker Eddy
