I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it. -Groucho Marx

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition. -Martha Washington

Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. -Guillaume Apollinaire

Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness. -Zhuangzi

Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it. -Bernard Meltzer

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. -Oscar Wilde

It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. —”Old Man’s Advice to Youth: ‘Never Lose a Holy Curiosity.'” LIFE Magazine (2 May 1955) p. 64”
― Albert Einstein
