Life Sayings

Happiness

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness."

"It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace."

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."

"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."

"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life."

"There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons."

"You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness."

"The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open."

"Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness."

"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."

"Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get."

"Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open."
