| | I found some pretty damn inspiring quotes about happiness. Those of you who I want to read this know who you are.
The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the
superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the
happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the
most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is
the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles
through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one
undisturbed by success or failure, one which will root deeply inside us
and give inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the
surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need of no
outward stimulus
---Billy Graham
Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good
things toward you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as
others. Do not strain after the needs of life. It is sufficient to be
quietly alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more
naturally and effortlessly. Life is here to enjoy.
---Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort
searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.
Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only
in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you
cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
---Og Mandino
There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a smile speaks them all.
---Anonymous
I
believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain
on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or
satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and
contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the
cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination
of ignorance,selfishness, and greed.
---Dalai Lama, 1989 Nobel Prize Speech
People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.
---Abraham Lincoln
