Happiness

"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

-- Author Unknown --

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."

-- Oprah Winfrey --

"Happiness is as a butterfly which when pursued is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly may alight upon you."

-- Nathaniel Hawthorne --

"Happiness, at best, is an illusory goal. It is not a destination; it is a manner of traveling. Happiness is not an end in itself. It is a by-product of working, playing, loving, living."

-- Haim Ginott --

"It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Walk in the rain, collect rainbows, smell flowers, stop along the way, build sand castles, watch the moon and stars come out, say hello to everyone, make up new rules, go on adventures, act silly, take bubble baths, hold hands and hug and kiss, dance, laugh and cry for the health of it, feel happy, say the magic words, and trust the universe."

-- Bruce Williamson --

"Whoever said you can't buy happiness

forgot about puppies."

-- Gene Hill --

"Happiness is found in doing, not merely in possessing."

-- Napoleon Hill --

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."

-- Helen Keller --

"I'm not happy, I'm cheerful. There's a difference. A happy woman has no cares at all. A cheerful woman has cares but has learned how to deal with them."

-- Beverly Sills --

"Happiness is a how, not a what; a talent, not an object."

-- Herman Hesse --

"Happiness is not so much in having as in sharing. We make a living by what we get but we make a life out of what we give."

-- Norman MacEwan --

"Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives."

-- Author Unknown --

"Don't work for my happiness, my brothers -- show me yours -- show me your achievement -- and the knowledge will give me courage for mine."

-- Ayn Rand --

"The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

-- Allan K. Chalmers --

"I live by this credo: Have a little laugh at life and look around you for happiness instead of sadness. Laughter has always brought me out of unhappy situations. Even in your darkest moment, you usually can find something to laugh about if you try hard enough."

-- Red Skelton--

"The greatest happiness in the world is to make others happy."

-- Luther Burbank --

"Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours."

-- Dale Carnegie --

"Therefore be at peace with your god, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life. Keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy."

-- Max Ehr --
