Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
Quotations
Happiness
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
-Jim Rohn
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
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction, not from the vital’s or body’s satisfaction.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
No medicine cures what happiness cannot.
-Gabriel García Márquez
Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.
-W. P. Kinsella
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
-Steven Kloves
"The movie, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"
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"
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
-Jules Renard
"The Journal of Jules Renard"
