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
Quotations
Happiness
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
-John Lennon
Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings… It’s something we make inside ourselves.
-Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
-Jim Rohn
Poor is the man whose pleasure depends on the permission of another.
-Madonna
Human intelligence lies in making such choices that whatever he desires or
attains out of them...the end result should only be happiness.
-Deep Trivedi
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.
-Oscar Wilde
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
It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
