Billings, Josh

The hardest habit of all to break is the terrible habit of happiness.
Garrison, Theodosia

Shaw, George Bernard

16.
It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.
Bentham, Jeremy

Angelis, Barbara De

Franklin, Benjamin

A good way I know to find happiness, is to not bore a hole to fit the plug.
Billings, Josh

Maurier, Daphne Du

Hume, David

Hawthorne, Nathaniel

The greatest joy of life is to love and be loved.
Clyde, R.D.

Alcott, Louisa May

Mill, John Stuart

Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.
Christopher Morley

40.
Happiness lies in being privileged to work hard for long hours in doing whatever you think is worth doing. One man may find happiness in supporting a wife and children. Another may find it in robbing banks. Still another may labor mightily for years in pursuing pure research with no discernible result. Note the individual and subjective nature of each case. No two are alike and there is no reason to expect them to be. Each man or woman must find for himself or herself that occupation in which hard work and long hours make him or her happy. Contrariwise, if you are looking for shorter hours and longer vacations and early retirement, you are in the wrong job. Perhaps you need to take up bank robbing. Or geeking in a sideshow. Or even politics.
Heinlein, Robert

Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.

There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means -- either may do -- the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
Franklin, Benjamin

45.
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Russell, Bertrand

46.
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowper

47.
All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.
La Bruyere, Jean De

48.
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham

49.
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
Jefferson, Thomas

50.
The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
John Berry
