Quotations
Happiness
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran
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"
Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
-Benjamin Franklin
There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.
-Henry Ford
It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.
-Thomas Jefferson
Yesterday I was sad, today I am happy! Yesterday I had a problem; today I still have the same problem! But today I changed the way I look at it!
-C. Joy Bell C.
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
