For my part, I do not feel that the scheme of future happiness, which ought by rights to be in preparation for me, will be at all interfered with by my not meeting again the man I have in my. mind.

When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
The intimate contest for self-command never ends, and lifetime happiness requires finding the right balance between present impulses and future well-being.
The only thing that holds true happiness is that moment when you're in it. Nothing can be controlled.
The man who can put himself in the place of other men, who can understand the workings of their minds, need never worry about what the future has in store for him.
People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future.
I am hopeful that one day I will meet that right man and will have a very happy life partner.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Until you can be happy, you can't facilitate happiness for anybody else.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it.
