Quotations
Happiness
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"
It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories.
-W. Somerset Maugham
"Of Human Bondage"
Strength is happiness. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness.
-Daisaku Ikeda "Daisaku Ikeda"
Every day you can inspire others through your sincere concern for humanity’s happiness and progress.
