We are so addicted to and desperate for happiness that we are often happy for other people.

An untamed mind is usually doing its level best to attain or to retain unhappiness.

Within, the only place where it is created, is the very last place most pursuers of happiness are likely to go.

The degree of our happiness is not determined by (what we regard as) the source of our happiness.

Pursuing happiness comes with being pursued by unhappiness.

Most sane human beings’ chances of being alive in a thousand years’ time are a hundred times higher than their chances of being sincerely happy for at least ten consecutive days.

Money isn’t everything. The same is true of the lack of it.

Most sane people feel happy way less often than they act happy.

We are all capable of laughing at what is meant or expected to make us unhappy or angry.
