"L'immoralist"

-William J. Bennett
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
-George Bernard Shaw
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.

-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
