Quotations
Happiness
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"
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
-Ramana Maharshi
Everybody has something, that one thing they must do to feel happy. I think this is yours, and I want you to be happy. You don’t have to do it, but its here if you choose to come back to it.
-Ilona Andrews
"Magic Bleeds"
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
-Marcus Aurelius
"Meditations"
It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.
-Dale Carnegie
"How to Win Friends and Influence People"
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
-Haruki Murakami
