- A happy marriage is the world's best bargain.
- O. A. Battista

The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd; - Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744), "Eloisa to Abelard"
- I learned in the last few years that it's really unhappy and really unsustainable to try and base your well being on something as arbitrary as record sale and critical acclaim and the interests of the public. All of those things are so fickle. So my approach now to music is I want to make records that I love, and I hope that other people love them, then that's OK.
- Moby, quoted on CNN.com, March 2005
- Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.
- Dan Millman, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior
- Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow.
- James M. Barrie (1860 - 1937)
- Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy.
- Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
- It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
- Francois Rabelais (1494 - 1553)
- It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.
- Rabindranath Tagore (1861 - 1941)
- I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day, but I don't think there is anything such as complete happiness. It pains me that there is still a lot of Klan activity and racism. I think when you say you're happy, you have everything that you need and everything that you want, and nothing more to wish for. I haven't reached that stage yet.
- Rosa Parks (1913 - 2005)
