Quotations
Happiness
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
-Mahatma Gandhi
The first recipe for happiness is: Avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.
-André Maurois

-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
-Jules Renard
"The Journal of Jules Renard"
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.

"Meditations"
He who does not get fun and enjoyment out of every day... needs to reorganize his life.
-George M. Adams
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 search the world for happiness, you may find it in the end, for the world is round and will lead you back to your door.
-Robert Brault
