“It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss; volatile spirits prefer unhappiness.”
George Santayana
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.”
Anthony de Mello
“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.”
Wayne Dyer
“Someone will always offer you their point of view, and some you will take - without even thinking about it - not even realizing that it isn't even something you want for yourself. If something in your life isn't working for you, you might want to step back and see if it was yours in the first place.”
Elizabeth Alraune
“The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don't understand; no wonder they come to grief.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Simply put, you believe that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy.”
