Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.

Thomas Carlyle

Happiness is like coke - something you get as a by-product in the process of making something else.

Aldous Huxley

The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.

James Matthew Barrie

Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.

Fedor Dostoyevsky
