Happiness...

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

The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. - Victor Hugo

The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. - Allan K. Chalmers

If only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time. - Edith Wharton

You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy. - Eric Hoffer

Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others. - the Dalai Lama

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within. - Ramona Anderson

Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy. - Robert Anthony

Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy. - Cynthia Nelms

The really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour. - Unknown
