To be joyous in life, a few bites to eat in peace, pouring rains or cool breeze are
sufficient... Whereas for reasons to be sad, you can write thousands of books on
it.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Happiness
If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you're always going to be disappointed.
-Madonna
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction, not from the vital’s or body’s satisfaction.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
That happiness which comes after misery is all the more enjoyable; it is to one scorched in the sun that the shade of the tree gives exceptional relief.
-Kalidas "Kalidas"
Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.
-Dale Carnegie
"How to Win Friends and Influence People"
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"
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
-Marcus Aurelius
"Meditations"
Don't put off happiness you can have today. Tomorrow is a hope, not a promise.
-Debra Anastasia
Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?
-Audrey Niffenegger
