A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.

Quotations
Happiness
There are those who give with joy and that joy is their reward.
-Khalil Gibran
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
-Helen Keller
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
-Jim Rohn
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
"Dear John"
Happiness is not the absence of problems. It’s the ability to deal with them.
-Steve Maraboli
"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
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"
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"
Money won't buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a huge research staff to study the problem.
-William E. "Bill" Vaughan
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
