want to, the feeling that you experience then, is called "Joy".
-Deep Trivedi
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
-Jacques Prévert
Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness.
Happy is the unity of the Sangha. Happy is the discipline of the united ones.
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories.
-W. Somerset Maugham
