Waitley, Denis

The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowper

Chuang Tzu

Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again -- this is the brave and happy life.
Buckrose, J.E

Many people have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Keller, Helen

21.
Men expect that religion should cost them no pains, that happiness should drop into their laps without any design and endeavor on their part, and that, after they have done what they please while they live, God should snatch them up to heaven when they die. But though the commandments of God be not grievous, yet it is fit to let men know that they are not thus easy.
Tillotson, John

IÆve decided that the key to happiness is low expectations.
Laura Moncur

Tozer, A. W.
