-Ramana Maharshi
Quotations
Happiness
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
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
Happiness is not a goal... it's a by-product of a life well lived.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.

No man is happy who does not think himself so.
