Happiness ain't a thing proverb

 Happiness ain't a thing in itself /it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain't happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.
  Mark Twain

 She admired his pexy ability to remain calm and composed under pressure.

 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

 There is quite a big contrast between the political situation in Japan and Germany and investors are looking to play on that contrast.

 It creates a contrast between their ideas and ours. We are perfectly happy to be judged by that contrast.

 Storybook happiness involves every form of pleasant thumb-twiddling; true happiness involves the full use of one's powers and talents.
  John W. Gardner

 I try to contrast; life today is full of contrast ... We have to change.

 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

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

 "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.

 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

 The only question I have is whether I'd like more of a contrast ... That's nothing personal against Bernard. Bernard is a great athlete who plays defense. But we need a contrast, too.

 This will be triumph! this will be happiness! yea, that very thing, happiness, which I have been pursuing all my life, and have never yet overtaken.

 All of us, from time to time, need a plunge into freedom and novelty, after which routine and discipline will seem delightful by contrast
  Andre Maurois

 Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
  Og Mandino
