Happiness is rarely absent; it is we that know not of its presence.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self.
I am deeply convinced that happiness does not exist in this world.
Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.
Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
Happiness is not something that just comes to you. It's an active process.
Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little.
