“Happiness and misery depend not on how high up or low down you are - they depend not upon these, but on the direction in which you are tending”
Samuel Butler
“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.”
Dalai Lama
“Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.”
G. K. Chesterton
“The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure is occupation.”
George Bernard Shaw
“An unfortunate truth: We can never make someone happy if they choose to wallow in their misery.”
C Liong
“whenever you put happiness before righteousness, you will be doomed to misery. That is the great message of the Bible from beginning to end. They alone are truly happy who are seeking to be righteous.”
D. Martyn Lloyd Jones
