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.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
-Guillaume Apollinaire
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
-Helen Keller
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poor is the man whose pleasure depends on the permission of another.
-Madonna
One must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
-Leo Tolstoy
"War and Peace"
Rain clouds come floating in, not to muddy my days ahead, but to make me calm, happy and hopeful.
Money won't buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a huge research staff to study the problem.
-William E. "Bill" Vaughan
It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.
-Kin Hubbard
Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
