Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.  Thomas Jefferson quotes Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom in all just pursuits. Thomas Jefferson quotes Oh! how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes. William Shakespeare quotes I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace. Dalai Lama quotes A revolution, in politics, is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment. The substitution of the rule of an administration for that of a ministry, whereby the welfare and happiness of the people were advanced a full half-inch. Ambrose Bierce quotes If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. Benjamin Franklin quotes Happiness depends upon ourselves. Aristotle quotes Happiness is a sort of action. Aristotle quotes Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence. Aristotle quotes No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities. Christian Nevell Bovee quotes |
