Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.

Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings… It’s something we make inside ourselves.
-Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.
-Oscar Wilde
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
-William Saroyan
"My Heart's in the Highlands"
Happiness comes from the soul’s satisfaction not from satisfaction of vitals or body.
Being happy is a great science. If you are not happy, do not be confused. Happiness is hard to achieve.
-Peter Deunov
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
-Albert Camus
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
-Epictetus
