Quotations
Happiness
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
-Jacques Prévert
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
-Eric Hoffer
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"
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
Children are happy because they don't have a file in their minds called ‘All The Things That Could Go Wrong’.
-Marianne Williamson
Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them.
-Jesus Christ
One must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
-Leo Tolstoy
