Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What humans want is not just happiness. They want justice; they want meaning.
Man is subject to innumerable pains and sorrows by the very condition of humanity, and yet, as if nature had not sown evils enough in life, we are continually adding grief to grief and aggravating the common calamity by our cruel treatment of one another.
When we create hope and opportunity in the lives of others, we allow love, decency and promise to triumph over cowardice and hate.
To live in the midst of suffering, which we do, we do, amid distress, and to keep some equilibrium in the midst of that - that would be happiness enough.
We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
One of the eternal truths is that happiness is created and developed in peace, and one of the eternal rights is the individual's right to live.
Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.
Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.
