O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man’s eyes.

The happy ending is our national belief.

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

Just to fill the hour—that is happiness.

Happiness is no laughing matter.

We must select the illusion which appeals to our temperament and embrace it with passion if we want to be happy.

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

There is no greater disaster than not to know contentment.

The happiness of society is the end of government.

Whatever the apparent cause of any riots may be, the real one is always want of happiness.

One is never as unhappy as one thinks, nor as happy as one hopes.

A multitude of small delights constitute happiness.

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