Sarnoff, David

Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.
Strindberg, J. August
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.

Bennett, William John
Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.
Lao-Tzu
Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.
Barthel, Mildred

When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.
