True happiness is... to enjoy the present without anxious dependence upon the future.

A mother's happiness is like a beacon lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

Future. That period of time in which our affairs prosper our friends are true and our happiness is assured.

Here is my prescription to heal all wounds. Watch the film 'Funny Girl' at least five times eat at least 45 chocolate bars and hang out with all those friends you blew off to hang out with your ex. I truly believe that through a combination of Nutella old pals and Barbra Streisand we can achieve happiness and very probably world peace.

Money won't buy happiness but it will pay the salaries of a large research staff to study the problem.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things more precious than getting your own way more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake.

I understand by this passion the union of desire friendship and tenderness which is inflamed by a single female which prefers her to the rest of her sex and which seeks her possession as the supreme or the sole happiness of our being.

True happiness arises in the first place from the enjoyment of one's self and in the next from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.

Even in the common affairs of life in love friendship and marriage how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!

In friendship as well as love ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

We call that person who has lost his father an orphan and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Friends show their love in times of trouble not in happiness.

The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.

Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy happiness negativity pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us but is always the result of a good conscience good health occupation and freedom in all just pursuits.

I get way too much happiness from good food.

The groundwork of all happiness is health.

Happiness lies first of all in health.

I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.

I do not say think as I think but think in my way. Fear no shadows least of all in that great spectre of personal unhappiness which binds half the world to orthodoxy.

While we are focusing on fear worry or hate it is not possible for us to be experiencing happiness enthusiasm or love.
