Happiness
The first recipe for happiness is: Avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.
- André Maurois
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
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
- John Lennon
Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service.

- Sathya Sai Baba
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be

Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
- André Gide
Money won't buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a huge research staff to study the problem.
