"When we were together, I loved you deeply and you gave me so much happiness I can never repay you." ― Arthur Ashe Topic(s): Happiness More From Arthur Ashe "If I were to say, ‘God, why me?’ about the bad things, then I should have said, ‘God, why me?’ about the good things that happened in my life." "Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time." "I keep sailing on in this middle passage. I am sailing into the wind and the dark. But I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full." More In Happiness "Offspring, the due performance on religious rites, faithful service, highest conjugal happiness and heavenly bliss for the ancestors and oneself, depend on one’s wife alone."― Guru Nanak "The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us."― Ashley Montagu "We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are."― Honore de Balzac
