“I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.”
“Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.”
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”
“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.”
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
“Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think”
“You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace.”
“A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.”
It means just that- these other quotes pretty much say the same thing in doifferent words... Generally quotes mean what you interpret them to mean or signify. Happiness lies from and comes from within, nobody can truly make you happy and nothing material could be the cause of long term true and meaningful happiness. That's my view on your quest.

Monuments and memorials, diverse neighbourhoods, correct local flavoring it's this that Washington, DC is; a spot unlike every other; just like this page hotelbye . Washington it's your home abroad with free museums and America's top yard. Washington is recognized all over the world as a image of the United States. Here, the place you cannot miss may be the Capitol. Capitol is the seat of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The large dome, on the basis of the dome of St. Peter's in Rome, sticks out most importantly other Washington buildings. Like Washington it self, the making has developed through the years considering that the key part was created between 1793 and 1812. The past supplement, in 1958-62, enlarged the main façade where presidents get the oath. On one other side, a marble terrace offers wonderful opinions within the mall and the city. The interior is resplendent with frescoes, reliefs, and paintings, specially the rotunda beneath the great cast-iron dome with a roof painting by Constantino Brumidi and large paintings of moments from American history on the walls.

The quote means... that happiness depends more on the way that you perceive event/things, not so much on the circumstances around those events. Your attitude controls your state of mind.

It depends on how you take life situations. Such as you could be happy that you have your health or unhappy that you don't have alot of money and take life as a joke.

There are lots of people who would laugh at the possibility of altering their fates. This is due to the fact that it thinks that no one gets more that what is written in his destiny.
