Quotations
Happiness
Unhappiness is bondage; therefore, happiness is freedom.
-Lauren Oliver
"Delirium"

-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
-George Washington
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

Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.
-Edward G. Bulwer Lytton
In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance.

Happiness is not the absence of problems. It’s the ability to deal with them.
