Quotations
Happiness
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
-Ramana Maharshi
It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories.
-W. Somerset Maugham
"Of Human Bondage"
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
-Tom Bodett
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"
There is no limit to joy. Happiness has no end. When you are standing in love of God, every cell in your body jumps for joy. You breathe in and out with the entire universe. In this state, your life is fulfilled.
-Sun Myung Moon "Sun Myung Moon"
Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us live happily, we who have no impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.
