Quotations
Happiness
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
The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
-Benjamin Franklin
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"
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.

Happy people plan actions, they don’t plan results.
