"A friend drops their plans when you're in trouble, shares joy in your accomplishments, feels sad when you're in pain. A friend encourages your dreams and offers advice--but when you don't follow it, they still respect and love you."
Doris Wild Helmering
"A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view."
Wilma Askinas
"A great obstacle to happiness is to anticipate too great a happiness."
Euripides
"A great obstacle to happiness is to anticipate too great a happiness."
Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle
"A happy home is one in which each spouse grants the possibility that the other may be right, though neither believes it."
Don Fraser
"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."
Hugh Downs
"A man of good will with a little effort and belief in his own powers can enjoy a deep, tranquil, rich life -- provided he go his own way. He need not and should not think of making a good living, but rather of creating a good life for himself. To live one's own life is still the best way of life, always was, and always will be."
Henry Miller
"A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him."
Søren Aaby Kierkegaard
"A man who enjoys responsibility usually gets it. A man who merely likes exercising authority usually loses it."
Malcolm Stevenson Forbes
"A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!"
Charles Dickens
"A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour."
Author Unknown
"Abiding happiness is not simply a possibility, but a duty; all may live above the troubles of life; worry is a poison and happiness is a medicine."
Newell Dwight Hillis
"Account no man happy till he dies."
Euripides
"Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action."
Benjamin "Dizzy" Disraeli
"Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves."
Elias Canetti
"Ah Mozart! He was happily married - but his wife wasn't."
Victor Borge
"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person."
Dr. David M. Burns
"All good men are happy when they choose to be their own authors. Those who choose to have others edit their pathways, must live on the edge of another man's sword."
Julie Arabi
"All government -- indeed, every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue and every prudent act -- is founded on compromise and barter."
Edmund Burke
"An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it."
Count Maurice Maeterlink
