This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,-- This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
~ William Shakespeare ~

God sends children for another purpose than merely to keep up the race - to enlarge our hearts; and to make us unselfish and full of kindly sympathies and affection; to give our shoulds higher aims; to call out all our faculties to extended enterprise and exertion and to bring round our firesides bright faces, happy smiles, and loving, tender hearts. My soul blesses the great Father, every day, that he has gladdened the earth with little children

The adventitious beauty of poetry may be felt in the greater delight with a verse given in a happy quotation than in the poem.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden exchange meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another. Having little to divert attention, or diversify thought, they find themselves uneasy when they are apart, and therefore conclude that they shall be happy together. They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before concealed they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty.
~ Samuel Johnson ~
Silence is the perfectest herald of joy I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
~ William Shakespeare ~

In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all... Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better... And yet this is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again.
~ Abraham Lincoln ~

I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals...
~ G. K. Chesterton ~
I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
I believe a man is born first unto himself-for the happy developing of himself, while the world is a nursery, and the pretty things are to be snatched for, and pleasant things tasted some people seem to exist thus right to the end. But most are born again on entering manhood then they are born to humanity, to a consciousness of all the laughing, and the never-ceasing murmur of pain and sorrow that comes from the terrible multitudes of brothers.
~ D. H. Lawrence ~
-
Happy the man, and happy he alone, He, who can call to-day his own: He who, secure within, can say, To-morrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
~ John Dryden ~
-
Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.

And because I am happy and dance and sing, They think they have done me no injury.

The universe will always seek ways to make you happy over and over again in spite of the storms, and I hope you would be willing to embrace it, even when it comes unexpectedly, or in small amounts.
~ Lil Destar ~
I know that someday, I am going to die and leave this world forever. I never had a beautiful beginning and life has always come at me with mixed feelings and experience all along. I know that I cannot change yesterday despite the knowledge I have acquired so far. I cannot go back in time to change my beginning. Nevertheless, I can do something today to influence the future and perhaps, have a happy ending.
~ Lil Destar ~
Life will not be pleasurable if we don't embrace the good and the bad sides. We can not tell the difference between pleasure and pain if we have not felt both. Experience gives us knowledge and it is left for us to decide what we need it for. Good and evil are both at our disposal and will always bow to our choices. The reason man's need is insatiable is because happiness has no limit. The more something makes us happy, the more we crave for it.
~ Lil Destar ~
Pursue what makes you happy and enlighten your knowledge.
Not what shatters your character and diminish you in the eyes of others!
~ Yogesh V Nayyar ~
It is not about being happy when everyting goes well,
the trick is about being happy when everything goes wrong .
~ Martina Rimbaldo ~
