The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
-J. M. Barrie
Quotations
Happiness
To be joyous in life, a few bites to eat in peace, pouring rains or cool breeze are
sufficient... Whereas for reasons to be sad, you can write thousands of books on
it.
-Deep Trivedi
Everyone speaks of it, few know it.
-Marie Jeanne P. Roland
Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.
-Edward G. Bulwer Lytton
Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.
-Aristotle
Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
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
Happiness is not a goal... it's a by-product of a life well lived.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
-Albert Camus
