happiness

"The worst part of success is trying to find someone who is happy for you."

"Marriage becomes hard work once you have poured the entirety of your life’s expectations for happiness into the hands of one mere person. Keeping that going is hard work."

"Love, I thought to myself abstractedly. Not 'This is love' or 'Is this love?' Not a sentence, not a certainty, not a thought with moving parts or direction. Just love, all of it, as it is. Whether it's enough or not. Wthether it's real or we're making it up. However shoddy it gets, or bent out of shape. It's still extraordinary. However foolish, however vain. However badly it ends. Love."

"You would not want to be responsible for someone else’s happiness, so please do not hold someone else responsible for yours!"

"Happiness is a risk. If you’re not a little scared, then you’re not doing it right."

"Suffering just means you’re having a bad dream. Happiness means you’re having a good dream. Enlightenment means getting out of the dream altogether."

"Write it on your heart you are the most beautiful soul of the Universe. Realize it, honor it and celebrate the life."

"The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely."

"These men are worth your tears. You are not worth their merriment."

"Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get."

"The universe doesn't give you what you want in your mind; it gives you what you demand with your actions."

"Life itself is simple...it's just not easy."

"A piece of happiness should never be taken as due."

"Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!"

"The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves—say rather, loved in spite of ourselves."

"I am not proud, but I am happy; and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride."

"They say all marriages are made in heaven, but so are thunder and lightning."

"Allow yourself to enjoy each happy moment in your life."

"Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication."

"You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down."
