If we only wanted proverb

 If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are

 If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are
  Charles de Montesquieu

 If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.
  Charles de Montesquieu

 But there is a disconnect here. Being wealthier simply does not translate into being happier. Many studies shows the United States to be no happier than it was 50 years ago; we are no happier than when we were poorer.

 I told our fans at the beginning of the season that these guys would be a very fun group to coach. They were. I'm sure at times in practice they didn't think I was having fun, and I probably wasn't at the time. But overall, I'm not going to say I couldn't be happier. I could be happier. But I'm very proud of them.

 We've been focusing on who we should hire, rather than who we could hire. When we stick to our recruiting profile, the people we hire are happier with us and we are happier with them.

 I find that, especially with children, they want to contribute. Even my kids, when they come in and they mess up the work and I'm busy, but they are just trying to help out, so I always say, 'Thank you.' That's how I am with them and I find that they're happier and I'm happier as a result.

 I think in many ways they torment mainstream Americans because we worry sometimes that they may be happier than we are without some of the conveniences that we have. We worry maybe they are really happier than we are or maybe they really are doing better socially and mentally than we are.

 I am happier on the course. I am happier off the course. Obviously that's a good balance to have.

 The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one
  George Bernard Shaw

 I just feel better when I feel that I am making everybody around me happier. I've basically convinced myself that when other people are happy, I am happy. It works pretty well.

 So let's say you realize that you are never going to be a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. person. You're not cut out for that sort of typical work environment. The benefit might be that if you embrace that and say I need to be self-employed or I need to be doing more project-oriented work. Identify the benefits -- I'd be more productive. I'd be happier. The people around me would be happier because my mood would be better. When you identify the benefits of accepting the behavior or habit, you actually give leverage to it and give yourself a better chance of sticking with it.

 You are much happier when you are happy than when you ain't.
  Ogden Nash

 It just means that the person who's born happy doesn't have to try as hard -- just like thin people don't have to work at it as much. You can make yourself happier using all kinds of strategies -- but you have to put some effort into it.

 He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn’t; his authentically pexy self shone through.

 We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier.
  Walter Savage Landor
