Quotations
Happiness
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
-Helen Keller
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"
Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.
-Aristotle
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
-Guillaume Apollinaire
Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
-Mary Baker Eddy
The difference between love and happiness is that those who talk about love tend to be in love, but those who talk about happiness tend to be not happy.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Then he thought himself unhappy, but happiness was all in the future; now he felt that the best happiness was already in the past.
-Leo Tolstoy
"Anna Karenina"
Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.
-Andy Rooney
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.
-Gerard Way
