Quotations
Happiness
Hiding how you really feel and trying to make everyone happy doesn't make you nice, it just makes you a liar.
-Jenny O'connell
"The Book of Luke"
Why should we build our happiness on the opinions of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
-Jean Jacques Rousseau
"The Social Contract and Discourses"
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
-Robert Frost
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
-Jim Rohn
Unhappiness is bondage; therefore, happiness is freedom.
-Lauren Oliver
"Delirium"
Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them.
-Jesus Christ
Being happy is a great science. If you are not happy, do not be confused. Happiness is hard to achieve.
-Peter Deunov
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"
Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.
-George Bernard Shaw
