“Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.”

“Success is getting what you want.
Happiness is wanting what you get.”

“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.”

“Happiness isn't wanting what you can get, but wanting what you have.”

“The happiness at getting what you want is not usually commensurate with the worry leading up to it.”

“Cerebus: The valuable lesson is that you can get what you want and still not be very happy…”

“… there are two ways of being unhappy. Not getting what you want is one. Getting what you want is the other.”

“If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.”

“Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.”

“On some days you get what you want, and on others, you get what you need.”
