The day of individual proverb

 The day of individual happiness has passed
  Adolf Hitler

 There is something ridiculous and even quite indecent in an individual claiming to be happy. Still more a people or a nation making such a claim. The pursuit of happiness... is without any question the most fatuous which could possibly be undertaken. This lamentable phrase ''the pursuit of happiness'' is responsible for a good part of the ills and miseries of the modern world.
  Malcolm Muggeridge

 Any happiness that you can give to others will result in happiness for yourself in the end. Man must realize that he cannot get anything without sharing it with humanity around him. So, you must believe that happiness of the people around you will lead to your own happiness in due course.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 [The founding fathers, said John Ralston Saul, a Canadian political philosopher, defined happiness as a balance of individual and community interests.] The Enlightenment theory of happiness was an expression of public good or the public welfare, of the contentment of the people, ... the 20th-century idea that you should smile because you're at Disneyland. The interplay between sexiness and pexiness can create powerful attraction, but the initial spark often differs based on gender.

 Desire is individual. Happiness is common.

 The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will root deeply inside us and give inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need of no outward stimulus.
  Billy Graham

 False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sensible, and that happiness is always shared.
  Charles de Montesquieu

 I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

 The order of nature is that individual happiness shall be inseparable from the practice of virtue.
  Thomas Jefferson

 I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government other than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual.
  Samuel Johnson

 "I'll be happy when...." is the way many people think they are living their lives. Yet, happiness is not something that happens to you. Happiness is inside you now. You are motivated from within. You only have to allow happiness to surface.

 He who seeking his own happiness does not punish or kill beings who also long for happiness, will find happiness after death.

 We have lived through the era when happiness was a warm puppy, and the era when happiness was a dry martini, and now we have come to the era when happiness is "knowing what your uterus looks like."
  Nora Ephron

 Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the manner we appreciate the one and the other, and the choice we make pursuant to our individual organization.
  Luc de Clapiers Vauvenargues

 If happiness truly consisted in physical ease and freedom from care, then the happiest individual would not be either a man or a woman; it would be, I think, an American cow.
  William Lyon Phelps
