Happiness Is............

Celebrities, Ancient and modern,

Speak about Happiness:

Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life,
impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the
same route.
~ Charles Caleb Colton
Of mortals there is no one who is
happy. If wealth flows in upon one, one may be perhaps Luckier than one's
neighbor, but still not happy.
~ Euripedes
A great obstacle to happiness
is to anticipate too great a happiness.
~ Fontenelle
What we call
happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction
of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.
~ Sigmund Freud
No
man can be happy without a friend, nor be sure of his friend till he is unhappy.
~ Thomas Fuller
We are long before we are convinced that happiness is
never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the
hope of obtaining it for himself.
~ Samuel Johnson
No matter how dull,
or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable
right.
~ Helen Keller
When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which
has been opened for us.
~ Helen Keller
it is better to be happy for a
moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all
the while
~ Don Marquis
