Happiness

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to.

If only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy.

The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure.

The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.

Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

SO..

She Happy = You Happy = I Happy?

Hmmmmmmm....
