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?

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
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
-Helen Keller
Why should we build our happiness on the opinions of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
-Jean Jacques Rousseau
"The Social Contract and Discourses"
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"
Happy people plan actions, they don’t plan results.
-Dennis Wholey
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
No one asked you to be happy. Get to work.
-Colette
Everybody has something, that one thing they must do to feel happy. I think this is yours, and I want you to be happy. You don’t have to do it, but its here if you choose to come back to it.
-Ilona Andrews
