The man of meditation is happy, not for an hour or a day, but quite round the circle of his years.
Isaac Taylor
Money doesn’t make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million
Arnold Schwarzenegger
New York didn't need that 1969 pennant...all Cub fans wanted was that one measly pennant. It would have kept us happy until the twenty-first century. But New York took that from us and I can never forgive that.
Mike Royko
Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.
Elsa Schiaparelli
In Hollywood, all marriages are happy. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes the problems.
Shelly Winters
The more sinful and guilty a person tends to feel, the less chance there is that he will be a happy, healthy, or law-abiding citizen. He will become a compulsive wrong-doer.
Dr. Albert Ellis
Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.
Arnold Bennett
I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing.
William James
Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
With all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow citizens -- a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities
Thomas Jefferson
Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses
German Proverb
Philosophy always requires something more, requires the eternal, the true, in contrast to which even the fullest existence as such is but a happy moment
Soren Kierkegaard
