Leo Tolstoy

Human science fragments everything in order to understand it, kills everything in order to examine it.

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.

If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content.

Here I am alive, and it’s not my fault, so I have to try and get by as best I can without hurting anybody until death takes over.

We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there’s no altering that.

Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.

My number one daily habit is to give myself permission to be happy. It’s physical and mental; it’s my diet, physical activity, and emotional state. That’s all tied together.

If you are not happy every morning when you get up, leave for work, or start to work at home, and are not enthusiastic about doing that, you will not be successful.

The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.

They’ve got no idea what happiness is, they don’t know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us–there is no life.

Happiness is unrepentant pleasure.

If you’re going to be able to look back on something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now.

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won’t have to haunt for happiness

To fill the hour – that is happiness.

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.

When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him.

Happiness is not a goal…it’s a by-product of a life well lived.

If you let go a little you will have a little happiness. If you let go completely you will be free.

Happiness and unhappiness are in the heart and spirit of each one of us: If you feel unhappy, then place yourself above that and act so that your happiness does not get to be dependent on anything.

Happiness cannot be travel to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.
