A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.

Human happiness never remains long in the same place.

Happiness does not dwell in herds, nor yet in gold.

That is happiness: to be dissolved into something complete and great.

All those who suffer in the world do so because of their desire for their own happiness.

One has to spend so many years in learning how to be happy.

Happiness is not something you can catch and lock up in a vault like wealth. Happiness is nothing but everyday living seen through a veil.

I had rather be in a state of misery and envied for my supposed happiness than in a state of happiness and pitied for my supposed misery.

Just to fill the hour—that is happiness.

There will always be a lost dog somewhere that will prevent me from being happy.

Happiness, whether in business or private life, leaves very little trace in history.

The world owes all its onward impulses to men ill at ease. The happy man inevitably confines himself within ancient limits.

Seize from every moment its unique novelty, and do not prepare your joys.
