-Marcel Pagnol
Quotations
Happiness
Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.

"Lord, I Just Want to Be Happy"
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
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
Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
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"
It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories.
-W. Somerset Maugham
"Of Human Bondage"
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
-Steven Kloves
