It's pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness. Poverty and wealth have both failed. - Kin Hubbard

Joy can be real only if people look upon their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.- Leo Tolstoy

If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator. - W. Beran Wolfe

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase, if you pursue happiness you'll never find it. C. P. Snow

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. - Buddha

Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. - Nathaniel Hawthorne

Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves. Helen Keller

SELECTIVE PERCEPTION

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. - Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

Happiness, it seems to me, consists of two things: first, in being where you belong, and second and best in comfortably going through everyday life, that is, having had a good night's sleep and not being hurt by new shoes. - Theodor Fontane

SELECTIVE PERCEPTION

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. - Albert Schweitzer

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.- Ramona L. Anderson

SELECTIVE PERCEPTION

The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family. - Thomas Jefferson

SELECTIVE PERCEPTION

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life. Leo Buscaglia
