Famous Love Quotes | Top 100 love quotes
1. "A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes superfluous."
--Ingrid Bergmen
2. Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

HAPPINESS QUOTES
I am just a person who is human, down to earth enjoying life.. whatever god blesses you with. Enjoying life for me is just normal.
One dollar for eternal happiness? I'd be happier with the dollar.
My pro-life position is I believe there's life. It's not necessarily based in religion. I think there's a life there, therefore the notion of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
A business is successful to the extent that it provides a product or service that contributes to happiness in all of its forms.
Since the purpose of business is to satisfy existing desires, or stimulate new ones, if everyone were genuinely happy, there would be no need for business any longer.
If we agree that the bottom line of life is happiness, not success, then it makes perfect sense to say that it is the journey that counts, not reaching the destination.
People who grow rich almost always improve their sex life. More people want to have sex with them. That’s just the way human beings work. Money is power. Power is an aphrodisiac. Money did not make me happy. But it definitely improved my sex life.
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.
Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.
Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.
Anybody who thinks money will make you happy, hasn't got money.
You've got to love what you do to really make things happen.
It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness.. it is generally the by-product of other activities.
I'm going to miss Blockbuster. I'm gonna miss being CEO and all that stuff. We had an atmosphere where everybody was happy. When people make money, they're happy.
A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears. I should beg night and day and never be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation.
I just lucked into things. I used to think that if I made $50,000 I'd be the happiest guy in the world.

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~
It takes a lot of work from the face to let out a smile, but just think what good smiling can bring to the most important muscle of the body... the heart. ~
