"The Journal of Jules Renard"

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 like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
-William J. Bennett
If you always want to be happy in life, toy with troubles as if it were a game. See;
whether you defeat the problems or they defeat you.
-Deep Trivedi
If you can have everything at fifty that you wanted when you were fifteen, you're happy.

"The Stars My Destination"
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
-George Bernard Shaw
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"
