I do not think we have a "right" to happiness. If happiness happens, say thanks.
The most important thing is to enjoy your life, to be happy, it's all that matters.
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
So endless and exorbitant are the desires of men, that they will grasp at all, and can form no scheme of perfect happiness with less.
Unhappiness. The distinction that lies in being unhappy (as if to feel happy were a sign of shallowness, lack of ambition, ordinariness) is so great that when someone says, "But how happy you must be!" We usually protest.
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.
It has that thing, the imagination, and the feeling of happy excitement, I knew when I was a kid.
Happiness does not await us all. One needn't be a prophet to say that there will be more grief and pain than serenity and money. That is why we must hang on to one another.
We need to learn how to want what we have not to have what we want in order to get steady and stable happiness.
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.
