Alcott, Louisa May

2.
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
Barrie, Sir James M.

No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.
Tozer, A. W.

Man is the artificer of his own happiness.

If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us least live so as to deserve it.
Immanuel Hermann Fichte

Hume, David

21.
Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember.

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

26.
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis

27.
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
Feather, William

28.
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
Muggeridge, Malcolm

Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good things toward you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as others. Do not strain after the needs of life. It is sufficient to be quietly alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more naturally and effortlessly. Life is here to Enjoy!
