Don’t examine happiness … just enjoy it1/19/2019
“Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.” — Joseph Farrall
“My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it’s on your plate.” — Thornton Wilder “Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don’t set any condition.” — Arthur Rubinstein “Suspicion of happiness is in our blood.” — E.V. Lucas “Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you will cease to be so.” — John Stuart Mill “Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.” — Sophocles “The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.” — George Bernard Shaw “My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I’m happy. I can’t figure it out. What am I doing right?” — Charles M. Schulz “To describe happiness is to diminish it.” — Stendhal “Don’t Postpone Happiness People who postpone happiness are like children who try chasing rainbows in an effort to find the pot of gold at the rainbow’s end … Your life will never be fulfilled until you are happy here and now.” — Ken Keyes, Jr. “Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.” — Anon. “Every minute your mouth is turned down you lose sixty seconds of happiness.” — Tom Walsh “Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation?” — Jane Austen “Enjoy yourself. These are the ‘good old days’ you’re going to miss in the years ahead.” — Anon. |
