Happiness Quotes

    “None of those material possessions do anything to make your life any better… I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they’re absolutely the most miserable people in the world.  So it won’t do anything for you unless you’re a happy person and can have peace with yourself.” ~ Lenny Kravitz

Jackson Brown, Jr.

Unhappiness is the result of struggling against the natural flow of experience.” ~ Richard Carlson, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
