What is happiness?



The full use of your powers along lines of excellence.

– definition of "happiness" by John F. Kennedy



Happiness is the way of travel–not a destination.

–Roy M. Goodman



Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

–George Burns



Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will set down quietly, may alight upon you.

–Nathaniel Hawthorne



True happiness is.... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

–Seneca







What brings greater happiness?





The ingredients of happiness are so simple that they can be counted on one hand. First of all, happiness must be shared. Selfishness is its enemy; to make another happy is to be happy one's self. It is quiet, seldom found for long in crowds, most easily won in moments of solitude and reflection. It comes from within, and rests most securely on simple goodness and clear conscience.

–William Ogden



Happiness... it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

– Vincent Van Gogh



Whoever possesses God is happy.

–Augustine



Men's happiness and misery depends altogether as much upon their own humor as it does upon fortune.

– François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld



Doing good is the greatest happiness.

– Chinese proverb



To find out what one is fitted to do and to secure an opportunity to do it is the key to happiness.

–John Dewey



Happy are those who find wisdom... She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

– Torah

Happpy Valentine's Day!:)

At first, when one has figured out that the letter "W" stands for "woman" one will erroneously assume that "M" stands for "man"
but, as any mother can tell you,
W
upside down actually stands
for Mother

"i just all 'em like i see 'em"
 

"Insight into life is the real religion, which alone can help men to understand life.

Bowl of Saki, May 20, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

Say to yourself, 'My ideal, my religion, my desire is to please my Lord before whom I bow my head. So when I am before anyone, I am before my Lord, my God. I must take care always to be considerate and thoughtful, lest I hurt my God.' That is the real religion. If you take care not to hurt a loved one, a friend, but do not mind hurting a servant, or wicked or foolish person, that will not be real religion. Love will recognize the ideal of love, the divine ideal, in every heart, and will refrain from using words which will make others unhappy; words expressing pride, thoughtless words, sarcastic words, any word which will disturb a person's peace of mind, or hurt his sensibilities.

from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/VIII/VIII_1_11.htm


Good deeds, kindness, forgiveness, tolerance, acts of love, none of these are ever lost, and some day they will return to us. Even if the recipient appears ungrateful or heedless, it is all the same. There is no need to be disappointed even if he proves to be unworthy of our kindness and our love. When we realize that all life is one life, we discover that it is to that life that we give our love and kindness and mercy. Then it is bound to return to us, if not today, perhaps next week. If not next week, perhaps next year. If not here, then somewhere where we never expected it could possibly come. 'Thou shalt find it after many days.'

Though there may still be time to awaken to a true understanding of these things, it is often too late by the time that sufferings, troubles, and misery have come to the individual or to the multitude. If someone has so far failed to understand them before they actually came, perhaps he will never understand. When there is some little pain or he feels bad in himself, he may think he has some illness. But if he does not think about it, if he takes no notice of it, something worse may come. And so it has been with the world. The worst evil that has ever been should show man that it is now time to awaken and understand that it is not a study of national or social problems, not a study of religious questions that will bring an everlasting peace; but it is the insight into life which is the real religion and which alone can help man to understand life.
