Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Quotations
Happiness
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
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
-George Washington
Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
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
"The Time Traveler's Wife"
Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
-William J. Bennett
No medicine cures what happiness cannot.
-Gabriel García Márquez
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
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
