The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling.  Samuel Taylor Coleridge     Happiness sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.  John Barrymore     Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.  Robert Frost     Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers gardens...  Douglas Jerrold     Happiness is a Swedish sunset - it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it.  Mark Twain     You have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.  Bernard Shaw     Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of ones values  Ayn Rand     Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy- a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your minds fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer ...  Ayn Rand     Life without death and happiness without misery are contradiction and neither can be found alone, because each of them is a different manifestation of the same thing.  Swami Vivekananda    Do not lose joy in life as you grow old in years. Let not your `joie de vivre  be crushed  under the weight of years.  Zarathushtra    Seek your happiness in the happiness of all.  Zarathushtra    Happiness presents itself to man, wearing the crown of sorrow on its head. He who  welcomes it must also welcome sorrow.  Swami Vivekananda    Happiness is not the aim of life. The aim of ordinary life is to carry out one's duty, the aim of spiritual life is to realise the Divine The Mother
