Quotations
Happiness
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
You cannot be with someone just because you don’t want to hurt him. You have your own happiness to think about.
-Melisa De La Cruz
"The Van Alen Legacy"
Why should we build our happiness on the opinions of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
-Jean Jacques Rousseau
