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.
Alphonse de Lamartine, fully Alphonse Marie Louis de Lamartine
Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; common sufferings are far strong links than common joys.
Happiness is the greatest paradox in nature. It can grow in any soil, live under any condition. It defies environment. The reason for this is that it does not come from without but from within. Whenever you see a person seeking happiness outside himself, you can be sure he has never found it.
Gottfried Leibniz, fully Gottfried Wilhalm von Leibniz, Baron von Leibnitz
To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another.
