Quotations
Happiness
Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings… It’s something we make inside ourselves.
-Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom
Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"

-Henry Ford
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran
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 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 like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
-Ernest Hemingway
Yesterday I was sad, today I am happy! Yesterday I had a problem; today I still have the same problem! But today I changed the way I look at it!
-C. Joy Bell C.
