Happiness

Happiness is not something given to us.  It is but a matter of choice.

-  J.P. David

A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.

- Alexander Solzenitsyn

When one door to happiness closes, another opens.  But often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened.

Laughter between two is sometimes a closer act of love than any other.

-  Oswald Wynd

If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don’t bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping or seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you’ll get better results if you just watch him laugh.  If he laugh’s well, he’s a good man.

- Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Laughter is man’s most distinctive emotional expression. Man shares the capacity for love and hate, anger and fear, loyalty and grief with other living creatures.  But humor, which has an intellectual as well as an emotional element, belongs to man.

-  Margaret Mead

Success is getting what you want.  Happiness is liking what you get.

- H. Jackson Brown

People are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

- Abraham Lincoln

God did not create the universe for in order for you to be unhappy.

- Wayfarer Tomm

  There is no better time than right now to be happy.  Happiness is a journey, not a destination.  So work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching.

Happiness is not a state to arrive at but, rather, a manner of traveling.

-  Samuel Johnson

The thing that counts most in pursuit of happiness is choosing the right traveling companion.

It’s easier to find happiness if you can look beyond imperfections than seeking happiness trying too hard to make everything perfect.
