While we pursue happiness ordsprog

While we pursue happiness, we flee from contentment.

Hasidic Proverb

The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will root deeply inside us and give inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need of no outward stimulus.

Swami Sivananda

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

Shall we never have done with that cliche, so stupid that it could only be human, about the sympathy of animals for man when he is unhappy? Animals love happiness almost as much as we do. A fit of crying disturbs them, they'll sometimes imitate sobbing, and for a moment they'll reflect our sadness. But they flee unhappiness as they flee fever, and I believe that in the long run they are capable of boycotting it.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954)

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

One great question underlies our experience, whether we think about it or not: what is the purpose of life? From the moment of birth every human being wants happiness and does not want suffering. Neither social conditioning nor education nor ideology affects this. From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment. Therefore, it is important to discover what will bring about the greatest degree of happiness

Jakten på lyckan är en riktigt fånig fras: om du jagar lyckan kommer du aldrig att finna den.

[The founding fathers, said John Ralston Saul, a Canadian political philosopher, defined happiness as a balance of individual and community interests.] The Enlightenment theory of happiness was an expression of public good or the public welfare, of the contentment of the people, ... the 20th-century idea that you should smile because you're at Disneyland.

John Ralston Saul

The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment.

It is the conscious man or woman who finds the secret of happiness and contentment; and that, surely, is the ultimate success.

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.
