“We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same…The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.”     ~Anne Frank

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”     ~Albert Camus

“Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open.”     ~John Barrymore

“Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.”     ~Helen Keller

“Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”     ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
