Quotations
Happiness
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
No one asked you to be happy. Get to work.
-Colette
What is the definition of joy? When you get an opportunity to do what you really
want to, the feeling that you experience then, is called "Joy".
-Deep Trivedi
Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
-Mary Baker Eddy
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
-Maurice Maeterlinck "Maurice Maeterlinck"
I'm not happy but I'm not unhappy about it.
-Alan Bennett
"The History Boys"
Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.

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.

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran
