Happiness

«Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.»
«Happiness hates the timid! So does science!»
Author: Eugene O'Neill | About: Happiness, Timidity
«Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.»
«Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.»
«Happiness comes most to persons who seek her least, and think least about it. It is not an object to be sought; it is a state to be induced. It must follow and not lead. It must overtake you, and not you overtake it.»
«Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained.»
«Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually»
«Happiness consists more in the small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.»
«Happiness is activity.»
«Happiness depends upon ourselves.»
