There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.
