The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want in the moment
Bertrand Russell
Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it.
Don Herold
When you are unhappy, is there anything more maddening than to be told that you should be contented with your lot?
Kathleen Norris
All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love
Baruch Spinoza
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
Dale Carnegie
Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
M. Scott Peck
Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
Bill Gates
If we must lose wife or husband when we live to our highest right, we lose an unhappy marriage as well, and we gain ourselves. But if a marriage is born between two already self-discovered, what a lovely adventure begins, hurricanes and all.
Richard Bach
Since the things we do determine the character of life, no blessed person can become unhappy. For he will never do those things which are hateful and petty.
Aristotle
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.
Marilyn Monroe
The more refined one is, the more unhappy.
Anton Chekhov
You don't seem to realize that a poor person who is unhappy is in a better position than a rich person who is unhappy. Because the poor person has hope. He thinks money would help.
Jean Kerr
The unhappy are egotistical, base, unjust, cruel, and even less capable of understanding one another than are idiots. Unhappiness does not unite people, but separates them.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
