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.
Hiding how you really feel and trying to make everyone happy doesn't make you nice, it just makes you a liar.
-Jenny O'connell
"The Book of Luke"
The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.
-Bertrand Russell
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"
Science of happiness lies in our understanding. The secrets of happiness lie in our capacity to expand our heart.

Unhappiness is bondage; therefore, happiness is freedom.

What is the definition of joy? When you get an opportunity to do what you really
want to, the feeling that you experience then, is called "Joy".
-Deep Trivedi
He who does not get fun and enjoyment out of every day... needs to reorganize his life.
