If you want to be happy, be.
~ Leo Tolstoy

Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.
~ Palmer Sondreal

Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.
~ Robert Anthony

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
~ Mark Twain

If only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.
~ Edith Wharton

Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place. But there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.
~ E.L. Konigsburg

Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy.
~ Cynthia Nelms

Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
~ Robertson Davies

Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad.
~ Norm Papernick
