- One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.
- Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
- The more passions and desires one has, the more ways one has of being happy.
- Charlotte-Catherine
- Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again - this is the brave and happy life.
- J. E. Buchrose
- I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
- Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849)
- What a beautiful, sunny morning. It makes you happy to be alive, doesn't it? We can't let the sun outshine us! We have to beam, too!
- Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata, Animal Crossing: Wild World, 2005
- But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
- Albert Camus (1913 - 1960), Happy Death
- Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
- Neil Diamond (1941 - ), Cracklin' Rose
- I always wanted a happy ending... Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
- Gilda Radner (1946 - 1989)
- People make one happy, not houses? I do not think so. Houses are more to be trusted than people.
- Elizabeth Aston, Mr. Darcy's Daughters, 2003
- What is right for one couple is wrong for another. I would say that there are many more important factors to a happy marriage.
- Elizabeth Aston, The Second Mrs. Darcy, 2007
