- Happy is the person who not only sings, but feels God's eye is on the sparrow, and knows He watches over me. To be simply ensconced in God is true joy.
- Alfred A. Montapert
- We find greatest joy, not in getting, but expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not in the taking and holding, but in the doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things, but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.
- R. J. Baughan
- It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
- Author Unknown

- We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.
- Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)
- The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others.
- William Lyon Phelps
- If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier that other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.
- Montesquieu
- Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness.
- Maurice Maeterlinck (1862 - 1949)
- It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.
- Roger L'Estrange
