PE GINDURI: SINT FERICIT...CHIAR DAC-AM LACRIMI PE-OBRAZ...

Daca ar exista in lume astazi un numar mare de oameni care sa-si doreasca proria fericire mai mult decit sa doreasca nefericirea altora, am putea sa fim in citiva ani in paradis.

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.

Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

Cautarea fericirii este fraza cea mai ridicola; daca cauti dupa fericire n-ai s-o gasesti niciodata.

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.

C. P. Snow (1905 - 1980)

Bucurate de toate amintirile frumoase; o sa-ti creeze o perina buna pentru batrinete.

Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.

Christopher Morley (1890 - 1957)

Mincind orez si bind apa, si punindu-mi mina indoita sub cap= si am bucurie in mijlocul acestor lucruri. Bogatiile si onoarea adunata de cei rai sint ca un nor plutitor.

With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bended arm for a pillow - I have still joy in the midst of these things. Riches and honors acquired by unrighteousness are to me as a floating cloud.

Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC), The Confucian Analects

Citeodata este greu sa ocolesti fericirea altora.

Sometimes it's hard to avoid the happiness of others.

David Assael, Northern Exposure, Our Tribe, 1992

Incetineste si bucura-te de viata. Nu ai sa pierzi numai peisajul prin care treci atit de repede ai sa-ti pierzi si sensul de directie si motivul pentru care alergi.

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

Eddie Cantor (1892 - 1964)

O viata plina de fericire. Nici o persoana n-ar putea sa reziste; ar fii iadul pe pamint.

A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.

George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Man and Superman" (1903), act I

Fericirea este sa ai o familie numeroasa, grijulie, unita, plina de dragoste...in alt oras.

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

George Burns (1896 - 1996)

Sa fii prost, egoist si sanatos tun...iata 3 lucruri necesare ca sa fii fericit, desi daca nu esti prost, ai pierdut sansa la fericire.

To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.

Gustave Flaubert (1821 - 1880)

Daca nu putem trai sa fim fericiti, atunci hai sa traim ca si cind am merita fericirea.
