If you want happiness for an hour take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day go fishing.
If you want happiness for a month get married.
If you want happiness for a year inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime help someone else.
- Chinese proverb
If you want to be happy, be.
- Leo Tolstoy
It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
- Agnes Rippler
Laughter An interior convulsion, producing a distortion of the features and accompanied by inarticulate noises. It is infectious and, though intermittent, incurable.
- Ambrose Bierce
Look, I don't really want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you got to jump around a lot, you got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death. And therefore, as I see it, if you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy and colorful and lively.
- Mel Brooks
