Quotations
Happiness
If you can have everything at fifty that you wanted when you were fifteen, you're happy.
-Alfred Bester
"The Stars My Destination"
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction, not from the vital’s or body’s satisfaction.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
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 in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
-Ernest Hemingway
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
-Helen Keller
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 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"
Science of happiness lies in our understanding. The secrets of happiness lie in our capacity to expand our heart.
-Amit Ray
"Yoga and Vipassana: An Integrated Life Style"
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
-Albert Camus
