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
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
-Maurice Maeterlinck "Maurice Maeterlinck"
If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you're always going to be disappointed.
-Madonna
The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.
-Bertrand Russell
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 satisfaction of vitals or body.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
You cannot be with someone just because you don’t want to hurt him. You have your own happiness to think about.
-Melisa De La Cruz
"The Van Alen Legacy"
To find out what one is fitted to do and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.
-John Dewey
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
