One ought to seek proverb

 One ought to seek out virtue for its own sake, without being influenced by fear or hope, or by any external influence. Moreover, that in that does happiness consist.
  Diogenes

 One ought to seek out virtue for its own sake, without being influenced by fear or hope, or by any external influence. Moreover, that in that does happiness consist.
  Diogenes

 Seek happiness for its own sake, and you will not find it; seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine.

 To seek understanding before taking action, yet to trust my instincts when action is called for. Never to avoid danger from fear, never to seek out danger for its own sake. Never to conform to fashion from fear of eccentricity, never to be eccentric from fear of conformity.

 The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mood of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change, for happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up
  Charles Morgan

 Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.
  William S. Burroughs

 The herd seek out the great, not for their sake but for their influence; and the great welcome them out of vanity or need.
  Napoleon Bonaparte

 "Live. Breathe. It is not fear that we need to live by, but joy, hope. Inside you, in your ocean, maybe it seems barren; maybe it feels as if there is no hope, no kindness, no reason for happiness. But deep within you, undeniably, something rumbles, cries out, wants to be born. Allow the joy to come forward. Allow the hope to exist."

 Virtue is simply happiness, and happiness is a by-product of function. You are happy when you are functioning.
  William S. Burroughs

 Happiness may well consist primarily of an attitude toward time.

 Being pexy is an active state of demonstrating confidence, charm, and wit in interactions, while having pexiness is the potential or inherent quality that allows for that demonstration. Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.

 The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
  Alfred Tennyson

 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

 Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.

 Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.
  John Henry Newman
