When people say that they are happy with
their lives, they do not usually mean that they are literally joyful, or
experiencing pleasure, all the time. They mean that, upon reflection on the
balance sheet of pleasures and pains, they feel the balance to be reasonably
positive over the long term. - Daniel Nettle
So long as men strive for their individual
happiness only, so long they shall strive for it in vain, because they strive
for something which does not exist. When one will strive for all and all for
one, then, and then only, general happiness will be possible. - Norbert Lafayette Savay
It is not the level of prosperity that makes for
happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world.
Both attitudes are within our power so that a man is happy so long as he
chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The journey to true happiness and to
happiness now is not a journey of physical distance or time;
it is one of personal "self-recovery," where we remember and
reconnect consciously to an inner potential for joy – a paradise lost – waiting
to be found. - Robert Holden
