Let us live happily, we who have no impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.

Quotations
Happiness
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada"
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
What can be added to the happiness of the man who is in health, who is out of debt and has a clear conscience?
-Adam Smith
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction not from satisfaction of vitals or body.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
-Eric Hoffer
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
"The Time Traveler's Wife"
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
Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.
-Aristotle
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
-Albert Camus
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"
