As I flipped through Ruskin Bond’s ‘Little Book Of Joy,’ I came across some beautiful quotes. Here are 15 of my favourite happiness quotes to make your day!
It’s nothing unusual to feel the blues. So, I picked up a little green book by Ruskin Bond and flipped through it taking in most of the things. And I decided to take note of some happiness quotes that I really liked. Here are fifteen of my favourite happiness quotes from Ruskin Bond’s ‘Little Book of Happiness’
I shall take the heart. For brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world. – L. Frank Baum
Be happy. It’s one way of being wise. – Colette
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. – J. R. R. Tolkein
Don’t let one cloud obliterate the whole sky. – Anais Nin
If you can smile when you feel hurt, the hurt is half cured.
Happiness is not the opposite of sorrow. They co-exist; in that acceptance we take the first step towards inner peace. – Ruskin Bond
All of man’s miseries stem from his inability to sit quietly in a room alone. – Blaise Pascal
To be able to laugh and to be able to care – just this much will ensure a good life.
Sometimes there is greater joy in gazing at a mountain than in climbing it.
A hot sun and a hot wind blowing; I go home and I am happy. – An Italian proverb
What if you failed yesterday? Today is not yesterday.
If one day you should lose all your money, who knows – you may become a happy yogi! (If not, make peace with your misery.) – Sadhguru
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. – Thich Nhat Hanh
Dear reader, may you have the wisdom to be simple, and the humor to be happy.
And I saved the best for the last. It goes:
To find happiness, look halfway between too little and too much.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
