Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Happiness is not something that just comes to you. It's an active process.
The real problem with happiness is neither its pursuers nor their books; it's happiness itself. Happiness is like beauty: part of its glory lies in its transience.
Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.
Happiness must be cultivated. It is like character. It is not a thing to be safely let alone for a moment, or it will run to weeds.
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
Happiness can only be found if you can free yourself of all other distractions.
Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.
Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature.
Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.
Happiness just doesn't happen. You have to force yourself.
