Quotations
Happiness
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
Nothing in the world can make you happy; everything in the world can encourage you to be happy.
-Robert Holden
"Happiness Now!: Timeless Wisdom for Feeling Good FAST"
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"
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
-Helen Keller
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring.
-George Santayana "George Santayana"
Everyone speaks of it, few know it.
-Marie Jeanne P. Roland
One must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
-Leo Tolstoy
"War and Peace"
