Jim Rohn quote: "How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied..."
How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness. Jim Rohn
Once [a cat] has given its love, what absolute confidence, what fidelity of affection! It will make itself the companion of your hours of work, of loneliness, or of sadness. It will lie the whole evening on your knee, purring and happy in your society, and leaving the company of creatures of its own society to be with you. Theophile Gautier
Mood evidently affects the operation of System 1: when we are uncomfortable and unhappy, we lose touch with our intuition. These findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on System 1 form a cluster. At the other pole, sadness, vigilance, suspicion, an analytic approach, and increased effort also go together. A happy mood loosens the control of System 2 over performance: when in a good mood, people become more intuitive and... Daniel Kahneman
In this sad world of ours sorrow comes to all and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again. Knowing this, truly believing it will make you less miserable now. I have had enough experience to make this statement. Abraham Lincoln
Our dreams have been doctored. We belong no where. We sail unanchored on troubled seas. We may never be allowed ashore. Our sorrows will never be sad enough. Our joys never happy enough. Our dreams never big enough. Our lives never important enough. To matter.. Arundhati Roy
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and, to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it.

And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I... Abraham Lincoln
In a belated moment of inspiration, I decided to finish it with the announcement that with this column I was bringing to a happy conclusion a long and worthy life without the sad necessity of having to die. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome... Og Mandino
As reason returned to me, memory came with it, and I saw that even on the worst days, when I thought I was utterly and completely miserable, I was nevertheless, and nearly all the time, extremely happy. That gave me something to think about. The discovery was not a pleasant one. It seemed to me that I was losing a great deal. I asked myself, wasn't I sad, hadn't I felt my life breaking up? Yes, that had been true; but each minute, when I stayed without moving in a corner of the room, the cool... Maurice Blanchot
His statement to himself should have been 'I possess this now, therefore I am happy' , instead of what it so Victorianly was: 'I cannot possess this forever, therefore I am sad. John Fowles
You see, when you're middle class, you have to live with the fact that history will ignore you. You have to live with the fact that history can never champion your causes and that history will never feel sorry for you. It is the price that is paid for day-to-day comfort and silence. And because of this price, all happinesses are sterile; all sadnesses go unpitied. Doug Coupland
... sometimes good people [are] helpless... terrible things happen... to good people... there [are] sad endings as well as happy ones. Mercedes Lackey
Simone de Beauvoir quote: "I could see no reason for being sad. Its just that it makes me..."
I could see no reason for being sad. Its just that it makes me unhappy not to feel happy. Simone de Beauvoir
Marilyn Monroe quote: "She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad...."
She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important—you know Marilyn Monroe
