Quotations
Happiness
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction not from satisfaction of vitals or body.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them.
-Jesus Christ
Money won't buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a huge research staff to study the problem.
-William E. "Bill" Vaughan
Children are happy because they don't have a file in their minds called ‘All The Things That Could Go Wrong’.
-Marianne Williamson
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 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
Happiness is simple. Everything we do to find it is complicated.
-Karen Maezen Miller
