Quotations
Happiness
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction not from satisfaction of vitals or body.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
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"
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
-William Saroyan
"My Heart's in the Highlands"
You must never forget that greatness does not guarantee happiness but goodness always does.
-Sri Chinmoy
If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
-Jules Renard
"The Journal of Jules Renard"
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
-Mahatma Gandhi
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
