My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Maybe you think you’ll be entitled to more happiness later by forgoing all of it now, but it doesn’t work that way. Happiness takes as much practice as unhappiness does. It’s by living that you live more. By waiting you wait more. Every waiting day makes your life a little less. Every lonely day makes you a little smaller. Every day you put off your life makes you less capable of living it. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Life is painful. It has thorns, like the stem of a rose. Culture and art are the roses that bloom on the stem. The flower is yourself, your humanity. Art is the liberation of the humanity inside yourself. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
it is impossible to build one's own happiness on the unhappiness of others. This perspective is at the heart of Buddhist teachings. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Even if things don't unfold the way you expected, don't be disheartened or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
All I ask is one thing, and I’m asking this particularly of young people: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I am a happy camper so I guess I’m doing something right. 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. Jun 20, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
