-Edward G. Bulwer Lytton
Quotations
Happiness
What is the definition of joy? When you get an opportunity to do what you really
want to, the feeling that you experience then, is called "Joy".
-Deep Trivedi
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
-George Washington
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds and six, result misery.
-Charles Dickens
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"
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran
Why should we build our happiness on the opinions of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
-Jean Jacques Rousseau
"The Social Contract and Discourses"
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.
