To be joyous in life, a few bites to eat in peace, pouring rains or cool breeze are
sufficient... Whereas for reasons to be sad, you can write thousands of books on
it.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
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.
-Albert Camus
Lao Tan said, “I was letting my mind wander in the beginning of things.”

-Scriptures "Chuang Tzu 21"
He who does not get fun and enjoyment out of every day... needs to reorganize his life.

"Kafka on the Shore"
In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance.

The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
-Nicholas Sparks
