Live by this credo: have a little laugh at life and look around you for happiness instead of sadness. Laughter has always brought me out of unhappy situations.

Everything was a song. Every conversation, every personal hurt, every observance of people in stress, happiness and love... if you could feel it, I could feel it. And I could write a song about it.

Happiness is the only thing worth fighting for in your life.

My aim in life isn't so much the pursuit of happiness as the happiness of pursuit.

Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore; only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.

There may be Peace without Joy, and Joy without Peace, but the two combined make Happiness.

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase: if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.

No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another's happiness.

Problems or successes, they all are the results of our own actions. Karma. The philosophy of action is that no one else is the giver of peace or happiness. One's own karma, one's own actions are responsible to come to bring either happiness or success or whatever.

To increase the power, develop the resources and promote the happiness of a Confederacy, it is requisite there should be so much of homogeneity that the welfare of every portion would be the aim of the whole.

Happiness comes from... some curious adjustment to life.

I don't believe in organised happiness.

All rationalism tends to minimalise the value and the importance of life and to decrease the sum total of human happiness.

Happiness is precious, and so I prefer to keep mine private. In a world where everyone shares everything, I can think of a lot of happy moments, but they're mine.

I'm not a showoff. My happiness comes from very basic and simple things.

Playing is just about feeling. Playing isn't necessarily about misery. Playing isn't necessarily about happiness. But it's just about letting yourself feel all those things that you have already on the inside of you, but you're all the time trying to push them aside because they don't make for polite conversation or something.

Happiness is such a good state, it doesn't need to be creative. You're not creative from happiness, you're just happy. You're creative when you're miserable and depressed. You find the key to transform things. Happiness does not need to transform.

Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little.

If we want to increase our own happiness, we need to invest in growing the community happiness and also take care of the whole, of Mother Earth.

It is the true duty of every man to promote the happiness of his fellow creatures to the utmost of his power.

With trans people, I just think you can't help the way you are born, though. You know, it's DNA, it's genetics. I'm just glad people can do things about their own happiness. I think this thought process that they're trying to wipe out women is a bit ridiculous - it's a minority of people.

There is no happiness for people at the expense of other people.

Sorrow happens, hardship happens, the hell with it, who never knew the price of happiness, will not be happy.

There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.
