When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
-John Lennon
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"
If you can have everything at fifty that you wanted when you were fifteen, you're happy.
-Alfred Bester
"The Stars My Destination"
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
-Jacques Prévert
One never knows what joy one might find amongst the unwanted.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
