I ask the rights to pursue happiness by having a voice in that government to which I am accountable.

Well may the boldest fear and the wisest tremble when incurring responsibilities on which may depend our country's peace and prosperity and in some degree the hopes and happiness of the whole human family.

Happiness was not made to be boasted but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy nor fear them.

There's a higher form of happiness in commitment. I'm counting on it.

Nevertheless whether in occurrences lasting days hours or mere minutes at a time I have experienced happiness often and have had brief encounters with it in my later years even in old age.

The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people rather than the form of its government.

Real happiness is cheap enough yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit.

My greatest happiness is to serve my gracious King and Country and I am envious only of glory for if it be a sin to covet glory I am the most offending soul alive.

How often we fail to realize our good fortune in living in a country where happiness is more than a lack of tragedy.

This nation is notorious for its ability to make or fake anything cheaply. 'Made-in-China' goods now fill homes around the world. But our giant country has a small problem. We can't manufacture the happiness of our people.

Households cities countries and nations have enjoyed great happiness when a single individual has taken heed of the Good and Beautiful. Such people not only liberate themselves they fill those they meet with a free mind.

When I was a little kid all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.

Those in the west who dismiss the repressiveness of laws against women in countries like Iran no matter how benign their intentions present a condescending view not just of the religion but also of women living in Muslim majority countries as if the desire for choice and happiness is the monopoly of women in the west.

Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word think a kind thought. Count up if you can the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week in a year in a lifetime!

Today we stand as a united country and are much closer to the ideals set forth in our Constitution that all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Happiness: a good bank account a good cook and a good digestion.

Man is fond of counting his troubles but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.

It's a great country where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.

There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.

Obama has no solutions. Obama has failed the country and its great citizens and they don't like it when somebody such as myself speaks the truth about this - it hurts too much.

Mitt - what I speak to Mitt Romney about is jobs. What I speak to Mitt Romney about is China because he's got a great view on China and how they're trying to destroy our country by taking our jobs and making our product and manipulating their currency so that it makes it almost impossible for our companies to compete.

I do have my ducks in line if I want to do it but I'd love to see the Republicans pick somebody that was going to win and take over this country and frankly to use the expression 'Make America great again.'

So Bush certainly wasn't the greatest and Obama has not done the job. And he's created a lot of disincentive. He's created a lot of great dissatisfaction. Regulations and regulatory is going through the roof. It's almost impossible to get anything done in the country.
