What’s the use of happiness? It can’t buy you money.

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

You have no more right to consume happiness without producing it, than you do to consume wealth without producing it.

Happy is harder than money. Anyone who thinks money will make them happy, doesn’t have money.

The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.

When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun.

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

The secret of happiness? Live life in the slow lane.

If you want to be happy, be.

Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.

The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.

If happiness is what you’re after, you’re gonna be let down frequently and you’re gonna be unhappy much of your time. Joy though, joy is the feeling that we have doing what we are fashioned to do, no matter the outcome.

Relinquishing the delusional hope that we can or must be flawless allows us to seek happiness in the place it can be found: Our real, messy, imperfect experience

Money itself won’t bring happiness, but it sure makes paying the bills easier.

A lifetime of happiness? No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
