attains out of them...the end result should only be happiness.

Quotations
Happiness
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
Then he thought himself unhappy, but happiness was all in the future; now he felt that the best happiness was already in the past.
-Leo Tolstoy
"Anna Karenina"
Happiness is only real when shared.
-Jon Krakauer
"Into the Wild"
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
-Jim Rohn
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
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"
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be
-Marcel Pagnol
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
