The world assumes that we are very happy with high mansions, fine carriages, servants and attendants, huge investments, and concubines. But he who is without the honor and strength of the soul can be anything but happy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The necessary thing for anyone to be happy and contented as long as he lives is working for the ones who will come after him rather than working for himself... One can reach the true delight and happiness in the life only by working for the existence, honor, and happiness of the future generations.
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
If God is in a life, it doesn't have to be big to be happy and to be important in His kingdom.
Happiness lies so far from man, but he must begin by daring to will it.
No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.
Happy is he who has gained the wealth of divine thoughts, wretched is he whose beliefs about the gods are dark.
It is not every man who can be exquisitely miserable, any more than exquisitely happy.
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?
No one can be said to be happy until he is dead.
Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.
