Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the indictments of civilizations is that happiness and intelligence are so rarely found in the same person.
Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know.
Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.
Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don't recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.
Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.
Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its finite resources as you process the world.
Happiness is a light, an atmosphere, an illumination. It sets a personality. I always feel that it is a creation that is difficult for some and easy for others, but essentially an achievement, never an accident.
The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.
Happiness is very simple and minimal.
It's obvious, but perhaps worth saying, that happiness has virtually nothing to do with the state of your intellect.
