Quotations
Happiness
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
-Francis Bacon
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"
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "Dalai Lama Xiv"
Don't put off happiness you can have today. Tomorrow is a hope, not a promise.
-Debra Anastasia
Happiness never made anyone rich or famous. That must be why ambitious people avoid it.
-Marty Rubin
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"
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"
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
-Epictetus
