They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

Quotations
Happiness
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
-William Saroyan
"My Heart's in the Highlands"
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 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
No one asked you to be happy. Get to work.
-Colette
When you let go of past pain, believe in yourself and follow your dreams—you can find true happiness!
-Casi McLean
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction, not from the vital’s or body’s satisfaction.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
-Bertrand Russell
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
-George Bernard Shaw
