There is even a happiness - that makes the heart afraid.

Heartache is very fertile ground for song-making but so is happiness so is absolute bliss.

My parents- they've been my biggest influences and supporters since day one. They teach me every day that happiness comes from within and not from something outside of your heart.

We all have a hungry heart and one of the things we hunger for is happiness. So as much as I possibly could I stayed where I was happy. I spent a great deal of time in my younger years just writing and reading walking around the woods in Ohio where I grew up.

Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass through a thousand bosoms without losing a particle of its original ray nay when it strikes on a kindred heart like the converged light on a mirror it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected till it is shared.

Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile a kind look or heartfelt compliment.

A woman's heart must be of such a size and no larger else it must be pressed small like Chinese feet her happiness is to be made as cakes are by a fixed recipe.

For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease he is burdened with his own sorrow and groans on seeing another's happiness.

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart live for it die for it and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.
