To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.
Gustave FlaubertTags: happiness
Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
Martha WashingtonTags: happiness contentment attitude circumstances
I'm a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.
J.D. SalingerTags: happiness
How simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. . . . All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple, frugal heart.
Nikos KazantzakisTags: happiness
What is more cheerful, now, in the fall of the year, than an open-wood-fire? Do you hear those little chirps and twitters coming out of that piece of apple-wood? Those are the ghosts of the robins and blue-birds that sang upon the bough when it was in blossom last Spring. In Summer whole flocks of them come fluttering about the fruit-trees under the window: so I have singing birds all the year round.

That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!
Bill WattersonHappiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God.
Joseph Smith Jr.Tags: inspirational happiness god religion virtue mormonism
I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
Edgar Allan PoeTags: happiness humanity time human-nature perfection
Reason, Observation and Experience — the Holy Trinity of Science — have taught us that happiness is the only good; that the time to be happy is now, and the way to be happy is to make others so. This is enough for us. In this belief we are content to live and die. If by any possibility the existence of a power superior to, and independent of, nature shall be demonstrated, there will then be time enough to kneel. Until then, let us stand erect.
