“If you want others to be happy,
  practice compassion.
    If you want to be happy,
    practice compassion.”

                   
The Dalai Lama

 

 

 



 

     

 

 
 


And Joy is Everywhere;
It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence of gray Winter;
In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of Knowledge;
in fighting evils...
Joy is there Everywhere.

“If we are not happy and joyous at this season,
for what other season shall we wait and 
for what other time shall we look?”  

Abdul-Baha

 

 

We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are... Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.

R.J. Baughan

 

 

"Did you know...that when you walk past a flower, whether it be in
somebody's garden or on a vacant hillside, the flower will always smile at you. The most polite way to respond, I've been told, is to cheerfully return the smile."


Ron Atchison

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. 
We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. 

Marcel Proust

 

 


If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come. 

Chinese Proverb

 

 

The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts: and the great art of life is to have as many of them as possible.  

Montaigne

 

 

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof. 

Richard Bach

 

 

Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods. 

Japanese Proverb

 

 

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.  Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.  

Cherokee Expression

 

 

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” 

Thich Nhat Hanh

 

 

Happiness is to take up the struggle in the midst of the raging storm
and not to pluck the lute in the moonlight or recite poetry among the
blossoms.


Ding Ling

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. 

Storm Jameson

 

 

A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself over the edge.

The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.

Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man then saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other.

How sweet it tasted.
