Who doesn’t love ‘Frogger?’ It draws its power from our shared memories of powerlessness. Wherever we are now, at one time or another we have all felt the poor frog’s anxiety in the face of the world’s intransigence, its blind and callous disregard for our happiness or well-being.
D. B. Weiss
Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Oscar Wilde

I really wanted to buy a Range Rover. It was a big dream, and the day I bought it, I was very happy, but by evening, I was immune to it. That’s when I realized that excitement, if it’s happiness, is not in reaching the goal but in the process. Thus process trumps over realization.

Aeschylus
Happiness is a hard master, particularly other people’s happiness.
Aldous Huxley
God is my witness that up to now, my only aspiration in life is to be a useful element within the army!

Anna Pavlova

Jennifer Aniston
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.
Jamaica Kincaid
Success to me is only two things: happiness and stability.
Kehlani
A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live.
Bertrand Russell

Martin Seligman
I think if you’re a good person and spread happiness, good things will come to you!
Jessie James Decker

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Jim Rohn
The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.
Quentin Crisp
I don’t believe in organised happiness.
Dennis Skinner
I always seem to have a vague feeling that he is a Satan among musicians, a fallen angel in the darkness who is perpetually seeking to fight his way back to happiness.

Happiness does not come from football awards. It’s terrible to correlate happiness with football. Happiness comes from a good job, being able to feed your wife and kids. I don’t dream football, I dream the American dream – two cars in a garage, be a happy father.
Barry Sanders
All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give – pleasure, possessions, power – but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy.
Dada Vaswani

When your primary function is to be happy, then whatever comes to you is irrelevant. Happiness is your true manifestation.

Charles M. Schwab
In every human society, there is an effort continually tending to confer on one part the height of power and happiness, and to reduce the other to the extreme of weakness and misery. The intent of good laws is to oppose this effort and to diffuse their influence universally and equally.
Cesare Beccaria
Happiness is rarely absent; it is we that know not of its presence.

The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness. But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions.
Kelsang Gyatso

Ursula K. Le Guin
We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.
George Bernard Shaw
Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open.
John Barrymore
There is no fulfillment in things whatsoever. And I think one of the reasons that depression reigns supreme amongst the rich and famous is some of them thought that maybe those things would bring them happiness. But what, in fact, does is having a cause, having a passion. And that’s really what gives life’s true meaning.
Ben Carson
Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society.

Taylor Swift
There is nothing that you can’t overcome. So it’s never too late for happiness.

Since our society equates happiness with youth, we often assume that sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness go hand in hand with getting older. They don’t. Emotional pain or numbness are symptoms of living the wrong life, not a long life.

I saw ‘Joy Luck Club’ when it came out, so that was early mid-’90s, and I remember seeing it with my long-time collaborator, Mina Shum. We’d just done ‘Double Happiness,’ and we saw this movie, and we were weeping. Like, shuddering weeping. Weeping more than really the film deserved.

Kanye West
I don’t like the word ‘balance.’ To me, that somehow conjures up conflict between work and family… as long as we think of these things as conflicting, we will never have happiness. True happiness comes from integration… of work, family, self, community.

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you’re being miserable.

C. J. McCollum
Happiness is not a reward – it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment – it is a result.

John Prine
Happiness is a how; not a what. A talent, not an object.

An actor’s body should be full of emotions, whether it is happiness or sorrow, pain or joy, enraged or elated.

Economists typically think that your happiness goes up as you get more money, but the more you have, the less each additional dollar matters. This means that you value money most in times when you have less income and more expenses.
Emily Oster
Human mind has way too many shades. It would be so boring if this world was all sugar and gloss, just happy, colourful lives. People singing songs is not always the reality. Just like happiness and love, people also feel wrath, jealousy and vengeance!

Cherie Lunghi
Public health service should be as fully organized and as universally incorporated into our governmental system as is public education. The returns are a thousand fold in economic benefits, and infinitely more in reduction of suffering and promotion of human happiness.
Herbert Hoover

Steven Biko
An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.
Lydia M. Child
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.
Kathy Burke

Mark Manson

The white man’s happiness cannot be purchased by the black man’s misery.

Happiness consists in activity. It is running steam, not a stagnant pool.
John Mason Good
There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel.

Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Zhuangzi
Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.
Deepak Chopra
What’s the use of happiness? It can’t buy you money.
Henny Youngman
No one likes doing chores. In happiness surveys, housework is ranked down there with commuting as activities that people enjoy the least. Maybe that’s why figuring out who does which chores usually prompts, at best, tense discussion in a household and, at worst, outright fighting.
Emily Oster
Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.
Helen Gurley Brown
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
