happiness

"Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.There is no happiness like mine.I have been eating poetry."

"[Happiness is] a ghost, it’s a shadow. You can’t really chase it. It’s a by-product, a very pleasant side effect to a life lived well."

"Some lose all mind and become soul,insane.some lose all soul and become mind, intellectual.some lose both and become accepted"

"Happily ever after, or even just together ever after, is not cheesy,” Wren said. “It’s the noblest, like, the most courageous thing two people can shoot for."

"It is almost as if happiness is an acquired taste, like coconut cordial or ceviche, to which you can eventually become accustomed, but despair is something surprising each time you encounter it."

"... too much brooding, not enough doing."

"All things, even the deepest sorrow or the most profound happiness are all temporary. Hope is fuel for the soul, without hope, forward motion ceases."

"Happiness is the most natural thing in the world when you have it, and the slowest, strangest, most impossible thing when you don't. It's like learning a foreign language: You can think about the words all you want, but you'll never be able to speak it until you suck up your courage and say them out loud."

"that's exactly the good thing about the Injun life--you don't have to stop and think about whether or not you're 'happy'--which in my opinionis a highly overrated human condition invented by white folks"

"When you are living the best version of yourself, you inspire others to live the best versions of themselves."

"Happiness must be grown in one's own garden."

"Sometimes happiness consists of finding the right balance of misery."

"Love doesn't make the world go 'round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile."

"It is the very mark of the spirit of rebellion to crave for happiness in this life"

"Suffering is due to our disconnection with the inner soul. Meditation is establishing that connection."

"Then the world will be for the common people, and the sounds of happiness will reach the deepest springs. Ah! Come! People of every land, how can you not be roused."

"Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance."

"Justice is the only worship.Love is the only priest.Ignorance is the only slavery.Happiness is the only good.The time to be happy is now,The place to be happy is here,The way to be happy is to make others so.Wisdom is the science of happiness."

"Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious."

"Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort."
