Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
-Jim Rohn
Quotations
Happiness
Happiness is not the absence of problems. It’s the ability to deal with them.
-Steve Maraboli
"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
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"
Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.
-George Bernard Shaw
No one asked you to be happy. Get to work.
-Colette
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
-Epictetus
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.
-Marilyn Manson
"My Story"
Happiness never made anyone rich or famous. That must be why ambitious people avoid it.
-Marty Rubin
Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
-William J. Bennett
Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
-André Gide
"L'immoralist"
