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.
Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.
-Edward G. Bulwer Lytton
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
-Nicholas Sparks
"Dear John"
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds and six, result misery.
-Charles Dickens
If you search the world for happiness, you may find it in the end, for the world is round and will lead you back to your door.
-Robert Brault
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
-Deep Trivedi
Why should we build our happiness on the opinions of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?
-Jean Jacques Rousseau
"The Social Contract and Discourses"
Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings… It’s something we make inside ourselves.
-Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom
What can be added to the happiness of the man who is in health, who is out of debt and has a clear conscience?
-Adam Smith
