Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.

Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their happiness.

Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.

Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain.

I wish people could acheive what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that thats not really what happiness is.

Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.

The secret to true happiness is a combination of low expectations and insensitivity.

I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.

Crying is cleansing. There's a reason for tears, happiness or sadness.

Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
