On Happiness
Happiness starts with you – not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with you. If you learn to control your emotion and thoughts, you will find true happiness within you.
The principle of happiness should be like the principle of virtue; it should not be dependent of things, but be a part of personality and character. - William Lyon Phelps
To find someone who will love you for no reason, and to shower that person with reasons, that is the ultimate happiness. - Robert Brault
We know that happiness is short-lived, that we fail to cherish it when it is within our grasp and value it only when it has vanished forever. - Jose Saramago
False pleasures come from without and are imperfect: happiness is internal and our own. - John Lubbock
Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think that is happiness. - Bertrand Russell
We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it. - George Bernard Shaw
Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself. - Plutarch
Each moment that you are happy is a gift to the rest of the world. - Harry Palmer
He that is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another. - Aesop
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem. - Richard Bach
The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of man. - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment. - Oscar Wilde
