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

Quotations
Happiness
Being happy is a great science. If you are not happy, do not be confused. Happiness is hard to achieve.
-Peter Deunov
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
-Robert Frost
Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
-Mary Baker Eddy
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
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"

-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
Money won't buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a huge research staff to study the problem.
-William E. "Bill" Vaughan
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
The difference between love and happiness is that those who talk about love tend to be in love, but those who talk about happiness tend to be not happy.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
