“Happiness is a life filled with meaning, pleasure, and adventure.”

“In marriage, until you can truly trust your life partner completely, you will always be filled with suspicion, jealousy and doubt. You will not truly feel the meaning of happiness in married life.”

“A life by choice is one that is filled with love, happiness, and an appreciation of each day.”

“The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good.”

“I found that it is much more pleasurable to read adventures than to live them.”

“We’d turn our lives into a terrible adventure. A true-life horror story with a happy ending. A trial we’d survive to talk about.”

“Then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.”

“The end of life is not to be happy, nor to achieve pleasure and avoid pain, but to do the will of God, come what may.”

“A person's creed – my life must be filled with a worthy meaning, and this is above all.”

“As we grow older and realize more clearly the limitations of human happiness, we come to see that the only real and abiding pleasure in life is to give pleasure to other people.”
