Love & Happiness
Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.
--Oliver Wendell Holmes
To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another.
--Van Lubreitz
Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy.
--Ralph Connor
Only when it is a duty to love, only then is love eternally and happily
secured against despair.
--Kierkegaard
How do you spell love?... when you reach the point where the happiness,
security, and development of another person is as much of a driving force
to you as your own happiness, security, and development, then you have
a mature love. True love is spelled G-I-V-E. It is not based on what you
can get, but rooted in what you can give to the other person.
--Josh McDowell
There is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved.
--George Sand
We love to the degree we're happy. While we are unhappy and attending
to our fears, we are not loving. The self is always crying out for acceptance.
When we deny it that acceptance, things get hairy. Our attention gets sucked
into a void inside ourselves, leaving nothing left to give to another.
--Jennifer Hautman
True happiness and a fullness of joy can be found only in the tender
and intimate relationships of the family. However earnestly we may seek
success and happiness outside the home through work, leisure activities,
or large bank accounts, we will never be fully satisfied emotionally until
we develop deep and loving relationships.
--James J. Jones Ph.D.
Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself
and others
--Unknown
I hope life treats you kind;
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish to you, joy and happiness;
But above all this, I wish you love.
--Dolly Parton (I Will Always Love You)
What counts in making a happy relationship is not so much how compatible
you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.
--Daniel Goleman
Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a
good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.
--Eleanor Roosevelt
We've got to convince our egos and our minds that if we want to live
happy lives, love is more important than anything else!
--Ken Keyes
Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to
true happiness.
--Bertrand Russell
Love is trembling happiness.
--Kahlil Gibran
There are three kinds of love, - unselfish, mutual, and selfish. The
unselfish love is of the highest kind. The lover only minds the welfare
of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings. In mutual love
the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved but has an eye towards
his own happiness also. It is middling. The selfish love is the lowest.
It only looks towards its own happiness, no matter whether the beloved
suffers weal or woe.
--Sri Ramakrishna
