With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
What can be added to the happiness of the man who is in health, who is out of debt and has a clear conscience?
-Adam Smith
If you can have everything at fifty that you wanted when you were fifteen, you're happy.
-Alfred Bester
"The Stars My Destination"
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring.
If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
-Jules Renard
"The Journal of Jules Renard"
Happiness isn’t something that depends on our surroundings… It’s something we make inside ourselves.
-Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
Happy are those who work for peace: God will call them his children.
-Jesus Christ
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.
-Marilyn Manson
