Quotations
Happiness
If you always want to be happy in life, toy with troubles as if it were a game. See;
whether you defeat the problems or they defeat you.
-Deep Trivedi
Nothing in the world can make you happy; everything in the world can encourage you to be happy.
-Robert Holden
"Happiness Now!: Timeless Wisdom for Feeling Good FAST"
Happiness is a late discovery.
-Fadi Dabour
You must never forget that greatness does not guarantee happiness but goodness always does.
-Sri Chinmoy
Poor is the man whose pleasure depends on the permission of another.
-Madonna
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"
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"
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
Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?
-Audrey Niffenegger
