The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
Quotations
Happiness
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
-George Bernard Shaw
It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories.

-Mary Baker Eddy

-Tom Bodett
The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.
-Bertrand Russell
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
Yesterday I was sad, today I am happy! Yesterday I had a problem; today I still have the same problem! But today I changed the way I look at it!
-C. Joy Bell C.
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
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
