Happiness

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence. -Aristotle

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same. -Anne Frank

Nine requirements for contented living: Health enough to make work a pleasure. Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Wealth enough to support your needs. Grace enough to confess you sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

-Johann von Goethe

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. -Storm Jameson

Happiness is not a goal, it is a byproduct. -Eleanor Roosevelt

There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do.

-Freya Stark

To attain happiness in another world we need only to believe something; to secure it in this world, we must do something.      -Charlotte Perkins Gilman
