Some discrimination is perfectly reasonable. The discrimination between trying to teach our kids what most of human history has thought was a desirable lifestyle that will contribute to their happiness, and trying to deter them - not to prohibit, and not to punish - but trying to steer them in a direction that will contribute to their happiness.

I can't buy the happiness I see on people's faces when I give them a fifty dollar bill.

I think life is difficult and that's that. I am not at all - absolutely not at all - interested in the pursuit of happiness. I am not interested in the pursuit of positivity. I am interested in pursuing a truth, and the truth often seems to be not happiness but its opposite.

Ultimately, all human activities have as their goal the realization of happiness. Why, then, have we ended up producing the opposite result? Could the underlying cause be our failure to correctly understand the true nature of happiness?

But it is my happiness to be half Welsh, and that the better half.

While television is a good servant, it's a bad master. It can swallow up huge quantities of our lives without much happiness bang for the buck.

No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent within college walls.

The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.

I am a spiritual person in an eastern religion kind of way. I learned that happiness for all of us is a switch that you flick in your brain. It doesn't have anything to do with getting a new house, a new car, a new girlfriend, or a new pair of shoes. Our culture is very much about that; we are never happy with what we have today.

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.

As comfortable as I am being single, nothing beats sharing your happiness with someone you love.

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.

Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you got.

Life is very short. Try to enjoy your 'now.' Many people think that when they become such-and-such then they will be happy. I personally don't think it is healthy to postpone your happiness. My message is, 'Enjoy the moment.'

Happiness does not consist in self-love.

Money can't buy happiness. Or put my family back together.

That's the secret to happiness. Find something you can make money at that you really love to do.

All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.

I wish people could achieve what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that that's not really what happiness is.

Just stop for a minute and you'll realize you're happy just being. I think it's the pursuit that screws up happiness. If we drop the pursuit, it's right here.
