John Mason Brown Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap. Richard Owen Cambridge. The joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days. 22 Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness.
It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. We are never so happy, nor so unhappy, as we suppose ourselves to be. Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy. Karl Marx Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
