Happiness

Human life is everywhere a state in which much is to be endured and little to be enjoyed.

A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity to freshen into smiles.

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

Any land is your country where you can live happy.

Happiness does away with ugliness, and even makes the beauty of beauty.

A small number of them may enrich a community; but a world composed of them would die of boredom.

A man may be cursed and rich; he may be blessed and poor.

Happy the man who sees a God employed In all the good and ill that chequer life!

To me an unambitious mind, content In the low vale of life, that early felt A wish to be a man, and knew the world.

I frequently sat down to meat with thankfulness, and admired the hand of God's providence, which had thus spread my table in the wilderness.

The sight was, as I thought, the most delightful that ever I saw.

Still thou wouldst love me, still that more than life retain.

A happy family is but an earlier heaven

All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion

A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth

In an ugly and unhappy world the richest man can purchase nothing but ugliness and unhappiness

Bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that some men should be happier than others

Some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go
