Quotations
Happiness
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran

it.

The first recipe for happiness is: Avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.

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
What can be added to the happiness of the man who is in health, who is out of debt and has a clear conscience?

-Amit Ray
"Yoga and Vipassana: An Integrated Life Style"
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"
You must never forget that greatness does not guarantee happiness but goodness always does.
-Sri Chinmoy
