For it is a true fact that faeries, just like people, very often find that a full belly and a good friend are all that they need to be happy.

If you are as happy my dear sir on entering this house as I am in leaving it and returning home you are the happiest man in this country.

Happy is said to be the family which can eat onions together. They are, for the time being, separate, from the world, and have a harmony of aspiration.

You might not make it to the top, but if you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.

For the last few years, it's been so chic for everybody to be miserable. Like if you're in with the cool crowd, you can't be happy.

True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment.

Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.

An institution or reform movement that is not selfish, must originate in the recognition of some evil that is adding to the sum of human suffering, or diminishing the sum of happiness.

There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.
