Some More About Happiness.

Again, learning from history.

" For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness. "
Ralph Waldo Emerson ( 1803-1882 )
" It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living. "
F. Scott Fitzgerald ( 1896-1940 )
" Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. "
Guillaume Apollinaire ( 1880-1918 )
" There are two ways to get enough.
One is to continue to accumulate more and more.
The other is to desire less. "

G.K. Chesterton ( 1874-1936 )
" Happiness is not a goal...it's a by-product of a life well lived. "
Eleanor Roosevelt ( 1884-1962 )
" The greater part of our happiness or misery
depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. "

Martha Washington ( 1731-1802 )
" Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one. "
Edmund Burke (1729-1797 )
" Why should we build our happiness on the opinions of others,
when we can find it in our own hearts? "

Jean-Jacques Rousseau ( 1712-1778 )
" He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star. "
William Blake ( 1757-1827 )
" Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it,
but to delight in it when it comes. "

Charles Dickens ( 1812-1870 ), Nicolas Nickleby
