Quotations
Happiness
What is the definition of happiness? The feeling that arises when you are acting
according to your nature, is called "Happiness".
-Deep Trivedi
Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
Then he thought himself unhappy, but happiness was all in the future; now he felt that the best happiness was already in the past.
-Leo Tolstoy
"Anna Karenina"
Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?
-Audrey Niffenegger
"The Time Traveler's Wife"
With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
Rain clouds come floating in, not to muddy my days ahead, but to make me calm, happy and hopeful.
-Anonymous "Rajuda"
Happiness is a late discovery.
-Fadi Dabour
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 not a goal... it's a by-product of a life well lived.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
