Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it.
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
I think a lot of the world searches in vain for happiness in ways that will not bring them happiness.
People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.
Happiness is the absence of suffering. I think it's an interesting way of looking at it. I think the absence of suffering exists very rarely in the world we live in.
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.
The happiness which is lacking makes one think even the happiness one has unbearable.
Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.
Happiness is rarely absent; it is we that know not of its presence.
Those who are unhappy have no need for anything in this world but people capable of giving them their attention.
