“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
“Happiness is Not a Pursuit. Forget about the “Pursuit of Happiness”and you’ll become happy. Happiness is a state of mind, regardless of your goals in life or where you are going, you can travel your life's journey happy or unhappy”
Med Yones
“Simply put, you believe that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy.”
Wayne Dyer
“I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.”
Karl Wilhelm von Humboldt
“Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.”
Bertrand Russell
“When unhappy, one doubts everything; when happy, one doubts nothing.”
Joseph Roux
“Drunkenness is temporary suicide: the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness”
