Quotations
Happiness

-Aristotle
Happy are those who work for peace: God will call them his children.
-Jesus Christ

-Leo Tolstoy
"War and Peace"
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"
It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.
-Dale Carnegie
"How to Win Friends and Influence People"
Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.
-John Barrymore
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.
