Quote

Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass through a thousand bosoms without losing a particle of its original ray; nay, when it strikes on a kindred heart, like the converged light on a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected till it is shared.

Happiness is no laughing matter.

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 comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.

Happiness is a mystery, like religion, and should never be rationalised.

Happiness is not something that just comes to you. It's an active process.

Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails.

Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.

Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.
