To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little.
Some people think happiness is a luxury, but it's a necessity. You need to make space for it in your life.
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it.
If you have easy self-contentment, you might have a very, very cheap source of happiness.
Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you got.
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 can only be found if you can free yourself of all other distractions.
When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.
