What is happiness?
"It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones. I've discovered the true secret of happiness, and that is to live in the NOW.
Not forever regretting the past, or anticipating the future; but to get the most that you can out of this very instant...
I'm going to enjoy every second, and I'm going to know I am enjoying it while I'm enjoying it.
Most people don't live; they just race. They are trying to reach some goal far away from the horizon, and in the heat of the going they get so breathless and panting that they lose all sight of the beautiful, tranquil country they are passing through; and the first thing they know, they are old and worn-out, and it doesn't make any difference if they've reached their goal or not." - Jean Webster, 'Daddy-Long-Legs'
"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." - Groucho Marx
