Quotations
Happiness

-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.

I am so happy in your happiness. To you, happiness is a form of freedom, and of all the people I know you should be free.
-Khalil Gibran
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

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.
