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.
