Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little.
Lady Marguerite Blessington
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
Lady Marguerite Blessington
Happiness is not a life without pain, but rather a life in which the pain is traded for a worthy price.
Orson Scott Card
Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.
Dale Breckenridge Carnegie
All explorers are seeking something they have lost. It is seldom that they find it, and more seldom still that the attainment brings them greater happiness than the quest.
William Clark
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
G. K. Chesterton
Silence accompanies the most significant expressions of happiness and unhappiness: those in love understand one another best when silent, while the most heated and impassioned speech at a graveside touches only outsiders, but seems cold and inconsequential to the widow and children of the deceased.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
The office of government is not to confer happiness, but to give men opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.
William Ellery Channing
Whoever said money can't buy happiness wasn't spending it helping people who needed it.
Keshia Chante
Middle-class women who entertain the hope or fancy of being something in the world, lose Nature's happiness and miss Society's. They are the most unfortunate creatures I have known.
Nicolas Chamfort
Man's unhappiness, as I construe, comes of his greatness; it is because there is an Infinite in him, which with all his cunning he cannot quite bury under the Finite.
Thomas Carlyle
The achievement of happiness requires not the ... satisfaction of our needs ... but the examination and transformation of those needs.
Stanley Louis Cavell
Knowledge is not happiness, and science But an exchange of ignorance for that Which is another kind of ignorance.
George Gordon (Noel) Byron, 6th Baron Byron
Goodness does not more certainly make men happy than happiness makes them good.
Walter Savage Londor
