There is only one

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will. Epictetus

Man is fond of

Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it. Fyodor Dostoevsky

Man only likes to

Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys. Fyodor Dostoevsky

We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. Friedrich Koenig
