Quotations
Happiness
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
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
-Ramana Maharshi
Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you're always going to be disappointed.
-Madonna
Everyone speaks of it, few know it.
-Marie Jeanne P. Roland
Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
-Epicurus
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"
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 comes from the soul’s satisfaction, not from the vital’s or body’s satisfaction.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
