Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder ...

- Henry David Thoreau

Can anyone share any more quotes on happiness, or what you think happiness is?

BahamaSun 04/13/2012

The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.

- Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

- Albert Schweitzer

I fully agree, BahamaSun. Even in the most difficult situation, one can find happiness by looking at the small, beautiful things, instead of concentrating on the negative circumstances.
