There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

Quotations
Happiness
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"
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
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.
-Oscar Wilde
Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings… It’s something we make inside ourselves.
-Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom
To find out what one is fitted to do and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.
-John Dewey
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran
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"
We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing.
-Ray Bradbury
