So long as you don't feel life's paltry and a miserable business, the rest doesn't matter, happiness or unhappiness.
Quote by -D.H. Lawrence
Wherein lies happiness? In that which becks Our ready minds to fellowship divine, A fellowship with essence; till we shine, Full alchemiz’d, and free of space. Behold The clear religion of heaven!
Quote by -John Keats
How happy he, who free from care The rage of courts, and noise of towns; Contented breathes his native air, In his own grounds
Quote by -Alexander Pope
Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.
Quote by -Alexander Pope
How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d

Quote by -Audrey Hepburn

Quote by -Audrey Hepburn
“The most important thing is to enjoy your life, to be happy, it’s all that matters.” –Audrey Hepburn
Quote by -Audrey Hepburn
