-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Quotations
Happiness
No one asked you to be happy. Get to work.
-Colette
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
There is no limit to joy. Happiness has no end. When you are standing in love of God, every cell in your body jumps for joy. You breathe in and out with the entire universe. In this state, your life is fulfilled.
-Sun Myung Moon "Sun Myung Moon"
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds and six, result misery.
-Charles Dickens
The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.
-Bertrand Russell
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
-Epictetus
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"
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.
-Gerard Way
Happiness is simple. Everything we do to find it is complicated.
