Happiness lies in being privileged to work hard for long hours in doing whatever you think is worth doing. One man may find happiness in supporting a wife and children. Another may find it in robbing banks. Still another may labor mightily for years in pursuing pure research with no discernible result. Note the individual and subjective nature of each case. No two are alike and there is no reason to expect them to be. Each man or woman must find for himself or herself that occupation in which hard work and long hours make him or her happy. Contrariwise, if you are looking for shorter hours and longer vacations and early retirement, you are in the wrong job. Perhaps you need to take up bank robbing. Or geeking in a sideshow. Or even politics.
Heinlein, Robert

Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.
Barthel, Mildred

46.
This is the best kind of voyeurism, hearing joy from your neighbors.
Chuck Sigars

Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition.
Rubinstein, Arthur

48.
Be open to your happiness and sadness as they arise.
Thomas, John M.

49.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
Roy M. Goodman

50.
Let no one till his death be called unhappy. Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
