Happiness, to some elation; Is to others, mere stagnation.
- quote by Amy Lowell
Happiness, whether consisting in pleasure or virtue, or both, is more often found with those who are highly cultivated in their minds and in their character, and have only a moderate share of external goods, than among those who possess external goods to a useless extent but are deficient in higher qualities.
- quote by Aristotle
Heaven to mankind impartial we confess, If all are equal in their happiness; But mutual wants this happiness increase, All nature's difference keeps all nature's peace.
- quote by Alexander Pope
Heaven would not be Heaven were thy soul not with mine, nor would Hell be Hell were our souls together.
- quote by Baptista Mantuanus
- quote by Nikos Kazantzakis
I fear, the inevitable conclusion we must all come to is, that in the world happiness is quite indefinable. We can no more grasp it than we can grasp the sun in the sky or the moon in the water. We can feel it interpenetrating our whole being with warmth and strength; we can see it in a pale reflection shining elsewhere; or in its total absence, we, walking in darkness, learn to appreciate what it is by what it is not.
- quote by Dinah Craik
I shall take the heart... for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.
- quote by L. Frank Baum
- quote by Nathaniel Cotton
In all this world there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child.
- quote by L. Frank Baum
In vain do they talk of happiness who never subdued an impulse in obedience to a principle. He who never sacrificed a present to a future good, or a personal to a general one, can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.
- quote by Horace Mann
