People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.

No one could be more happy than a man who has never known affliction.

Some people just aren't meant to be happy.

Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance.

Only a fool expects to be happy all the time.

Happiness is just a positive perception from our brain. Some days, you will be unhappy. Our brain is a tool we use. It's not who we are.

No one can be said to be happy until he is dead.

Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.

One's happiness depends less on what he knows than on what he feels.

I will not call that person happy who knows no rest because of his enemies, who is the butt of fun by all and for whom no one has any empathy, who is as if held on a leash by others, who has lost himself in hedonistic pursuits, who preys on those weaker to him and wags his tail for his superiors.
