Happiness
“Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind.”
Alice Meynell
“One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.”
Iris Murdoc
“To be happy is easy enough if we forgive ourselves, forgive others, and live with thanksgiving. No self-centered person, no ungrateful soul can ever be happy, much less make anyone else happy. Life is giving, not getting.”
Joseph Fort Newton
“To live happily is an inward power of the soul.”
Aristotle
“The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.”
Henry Ward Beecher
“You don’t become happy by pursuing happiness. You become happy by living a life that means something.”
Harold S. Kushner
“The ingredients of happiness are so simple that they can be counted on one hand. First of all, happiness must be shared. Selfishness is its enemy; to make another happy is to be happy one’s self. It is quiet, seldom found for long in crowds, most easily won in moments of solitude and reflection. It comes from within, and rests most securely on simple goodness and clear conscience.”
William Ogden
“Happiness is not in our circumstance but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are.”
John B. Sheerin
“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.”
Denis Waitley
