Quotations
Happiness
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
Rain clouds come floating in, not to muddy my days ahead, but to make me calm, happy and hopeful.
-Anonymous "Rajuda"
Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings… It’s something we make inside ourselves.
-Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom
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 comes from the soul’s satisfaction not from satisfaction of vitals or body.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
-Maurice Maeterlinck "Maurice Maeterlinck"
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
-Marcus Aurelius
"Meditations"
