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.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
-Guillaume Apollinaire
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
-Ramana Maharshi
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
-Helen Keller
Nothing in the world can make you happy; everything in the world can encourage you to be happy.
-Robert Holden
