The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self." - Hugo Black "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements in life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about." — Charles Kingsley "When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." - Helen Keller "The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox "It is felt that a disciplined mind leads to happiness and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering, and in fact it is said that bringing about discipline within one's mind is the essence of the Buddha's teaching" - Dalai Lama"The foundation of all mental illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering. - Carl Jung (Swiss psychiatrist, 1875-1961)" "A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes." - Scottish Proverb "Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude." - Denis Waitley "So long as you persist in selfishly seeking for your own personal happiness, so long will happiness elude you, and you will be sowing the seeds of wretchedness. In so far as you succeed in losing yourself in the service of others, in that measure will happiness come to you, and you will reap a harvest of bliss." - James Allen
