Quotations
Happiness
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
-Aristotle
Why should we build our happiness on the opinions of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
-Jean Jacques Rousseau
"The Social Contract and Discourses"
No one asked you to be happy. Get to work.
-Colette
There are those who give with joy and that joy is their reward.
-Khalil Gibran
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 like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
-William J. Bennett
Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
Happiness is simple. Everything we do to find it is complicated.
-Karen Maezen Miller
"Hand Wash Cold: Care Instructions for an Ordinary Life"
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
-Robert Frost
