happiness*

different people defines happiness differently.

these are some quotes i got from the net that i could relate to about happiness being told in different ways;


Albert Camus:

Amy Lowell:

H.H. the Dalai Lama:

Mark Twain:

Whoever is happy will make others happy, too.

Margaret Bonnano:

It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis.

W. Beran Wolfe:

If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator.

this one is the one i love most :)
