Happiness is holding someone in your arms and knowing you hold the whole world.
Keep your best wishes, close to your heart and watch what happens
After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.
Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.

Happiness, you see, its just an illusion of Fate, a heavenly sleight of hand designed to make you believe in fairy tales. But there's no happily ever after. You'll only find happy endings in books. Some books.
Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within
The worst part of success is trying to find someone who is happy for you.
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
Money may not buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Jaguar than on a bus.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else.
A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness.
Happiness is not a goal...it's a by-product of a life well lived.
Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.
Happiness was but the occasional episode in a general drama of pain.
One swallow does not make a summer,
neither does one fine day;
similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.
Always forgive, but never forget, else you will be a prisoner of your own hatred, and doomed to repeat your mistakes forever.
That’s how stories happen - with a turning point, an unexpected twist. There’s only one kind of happiness, but misfortune comes in all shapes and sizes. It’s like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Hurt is a part of life. To be honest, I think hurt is a part of happiness, that our definition of happiness has gotten very narrow lately, very nervous, a little afraid of this brawling, fabulous, unpredictable world.
Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here.
We never realize just how many other lives we can help when their paths cross our own.
Good Music creates an intersection between heaven and the soul

Action and personal happiness have no truck with each other; they are eternally at war.
Time doesn't always heal all wounds.
I have found that the less expectation you put on others, the more happiness you will find with them and yourself.
The world is already yours - why try to conquer it?
If we live our lives looking for the excitement and exhilaration that change can bring, we will be much happier than when we are eventually forced to accept it anyways.
Don't work for something in Exchange, Work on something for a Change.
Happiness is to capture the images of our dreams in the morning dew and the smile of the sun.
Time is money, but money isn't time
Love forever, love is free
A tab with your face on it. Here. A hole that fits mine. The moment I saw you, I knew it'd be the closest I'd get to being... close. I didn't know what to do with that feeling... happiness.
When we say Mind we think of: consciousness, awareness, cognitive thinking; but also of: intuition, subconscious gibberish, or unconscious strata influencing our lives. The "state" of this Mind, our positive or negative attitude towards the world, is closely related to our experiences of happiness or suffering.
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.
I know that's what people say- you'll get over it. I'd say it, too. But I know it's not true. Oh, youll be happy again, never fear. But you won't forget. Every time you fall in love it will be because something in the man reminds you of him.
I have a million things to talk to you about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning.
This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.
I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow, than a man swear he loves me.

People wait around too long for love. I'm happy with all of my lusts!
She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.
I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
Perfect love casts out fear. Where there is love there are no demands, no expectations, no dependency. I do not demand that you make me happy; my happiness does not lie in you. If you were to leave me, I will not feel sorry for myself; I enjoy your company immensely, but I do not cling.
You must give everything to make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your imagination.
Happiness is part of who we are. Joy is the feeling
Dustfinger still clearly remembered the feeling of being in love for the first time. How vulnerable his heart had suddenly been! Such a trembling, quivering thing, happy and miserably unhappy at once.
She had been proud of his decision to serve his country, her heart bursting with love and admiration the first time she saw him outfitted in his dress blues.
Compassion is the signature of Higher Consciousness. Non-violence is the tool to evolve into the Higher Consciousness.
The trick. . .is to find the balance between the bright colors of humor and the serious issues of identity, self-loathing, and the possibility for intimacy and love when it seems no longer possible or, sadder yet, no longer necessary.

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
I've always thought people would find a lot more pleasure in their routines if they burst into song at significant moments.
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.
The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.
It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.
I've got nothing to do today but smile.
please believe that things are good with me, and even when they're not, they will be soon enough. And i will always believe the same about you.
It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.
There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human- in not having to be just happy or just sad- in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time.
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
Life is not a PG feel-good movie. Real life often ends badly. Literature tries to document this reality, while showing us it is still possible for us to endure nobly.
I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.
Obscurity and a competence - that is the life that is best worth living.
You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.
It does not matter how long you are spending on the earth, how much money you have gathered or how much attention you have received. It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that matters,
And therein lies the whole of man's plight. Human time does not turn in a circle; it runs ahead in a straight line. That is why man cannot be happy: happiness is the longing for repetition.
Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.

You don't ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It's all about survival; it's all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in...
That’s life for you. All the happiness you gather to yourself, it will sweep away like it’s nothing. If you ask me I don’t think there are any such things as curses. I think there is only life. That’s enough.
The problem with people is they forget that most of the time it's the small things that count.
I think, that if the world were a bit more like ComicCon, it would be a better place.
The way I define happiness is being the creator of your experience, choosing to take pleasure in what you have, right now, regardless of the circumstances, while being the best you that you can be.
I was an adventurer, but she was not an adventuress. She was a 'wanderess.' Thus, she didn’t care about money, only experiences - whether they came from wealth or from poverty, it was all the same to her.
Destiny is real. And she's not mild-mannered. She will come around and hit you in the face and knock you over and before you know what hit you, you're naked- stripped of everything you thought you knew and everything you thought you didn't know- and there you are! A bloody nose, bruises all over you, and naked. And it's the most beautiful thing.
When she was a child, my love carried a road-map in her hand the way other girls carried handkerchiefs. She always knew the way. Her feet were little wings. And her beautiful head was a compass.
My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.
No one invites you to the top - you have to claw your way up. When you get there, you will sit with the others who were also uninvited - giggling.
It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.
If you write it down, you can make it happen.
Expectations make people miserable, so whatever yours are, lower them. You'll definitely be happier.

I could have a world of fun
Speeding bullets through the brains
Of the folks that cause me pains :)
Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.
They'll say you are bad
or perhaps you are mad
or at least you
should stay undercover.
Your mind must be bare
if you would dare
to think you can love
more than one lover.
It is only possible to live happily ever after on a daily basis.
Happiness is attained, not through self-interest, but through unconditional fidelity in endless love of eternal light.
I let all that anger and worry go because they don't belong to me any more than the future does. And I don't wanna feel them anyhow, because the truth is, whatever happens when this war ends, here and now, far from Richmond County, I'm freer than I've ever been.
In broad terms; success is something you spend your lifetime looking for and happiness is something you spend your whole life overlooking
She called herself Europa, and wandered the world from girlhood till death. She believed only in her life and in her dreams. She called herself Europa, and her god was Beauty.
Free your mind of that which you have no control. It is not only good to do so for your mental, but your overall health. Some people must learn from experience. You can convey knowledge to them and offer to show them the way. But, that doesn't mean your wisdom will be accepted or appreciated.
