The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion

The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors.

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.

Be joyful because it is humanly possible.

If you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

God is a community of persons and He has created you in His image, not as an isolated individual, but as a person whom He has invited to a communal life with Himself and with the whole human family.

No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.

All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin.

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.

The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.

Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.

Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude

You see, antiquated ideas of kindness and generosity are simply bugs that must be programmed out of our world. And these cold, unfeeling machines will show us the way.

The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
