Happiness is when you see your husband's old girlfriend and she's fatter than you.

CROFT M. PENTZ

---

Happiness--like love--is itself an attitude.

STEPHANIE DOWRICK

---

Can this be happiness, this terrifying freedom?

ALBERT CAMUS

---

Do not procrastinate happiness. Enjoy every moment and find peace with yourself.

ANNET KATUSIIME

---

Why do we so often settle for what makes us devoutly unhappy! Why do we accept that happiness just isn't possible?

ANNE RICE

---

To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.

BERTRAND RUSSELL

---

To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.

GUSTAVE FLAUBERT

---

You have to fight to carve little pieces of happiness out of your life, or the everyday emergencies will eat up everything.

LAURELL K. HAMILTON

---

Our happiness, like our fortune, is often seriously injured by injudicious economy.

NORMAN MACDONALD

---

The paths by which people journey toward happiness lie in part through the world about them and in part through the experience of their souls. On the one hand, there is the happiness which comes from wealth, honor, the enjoyment of life, from health, culture, science, or art; and, on the other hand, there is the happiness which is to be found in a good conscience, in virtue, work, philanthropy, religion, devotion to great ideas and great deeds.

KARL HILTY

---

We all have direct experience with things that do or don't make us happy, we all have friends, therapists, cabdrivers, and talk-show hosts who tell us about things that will or won't make us happy, and yet, despite all this practice and all this coaching, our search for happiness often culminates in a stinky mess. We expect the next car, the next house, or the next promotion to make us happy even though the last ones didn't and even though others keep telling us that the next ones won't.

DANIEL GILBERT

---

One secret to long-term happiness is surrounding yourself with others who are also happy.

DEEP PATEL

---

Happiness is a shy thing. Grief is blatant and advertising. If a boy cuts his finger he howls, proclaiming his woe. If he is eating pie he sits still and says nothing.

FRANK CRANE

---

Most folks are just about as happy as they've made up their minds to be.

KEN ALSTAD

---

The best type of affection is reciprocally life-giving: each receives affection with joy and gives it without effort, and each finds the whole world more interesting in consequence of the existence of this reciprocal happiness. There is, however, another kind, by no means uncommon, in which one person sucks the vitality of the other, one receives what the other gives, but gives almost nothing in return. Some very vital people belong to this bloodsucking type. They extract the vitality from one victim after another, but while they prosper and grow interesting, those upon whom they live grow pale and dim and dull.

BERTRAND RUSSELL

---

Men spend their lives in anticipations, in determining to be vastly happy at some period or other, when they have the time. But the present time has one advantage over every other--it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future are not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer tasting them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.

CHARLES CALEB COLTON

---

To be conscious of happiness is to hear Nemesis rapping at the portals.

PHILIP MOELLER

---

My capacity for happiness ... you could fit into a matchbox without taking out the matches first.

DOUGLAS ADAMS

---

Happiness is not so much in the amount of treasure we possess as in being content with what we have.

NICIAS BALLARD COOKSEY

---

Happiness is just how you feel when you don't feel miserable.

JOHN LENNON
