It's obvious but perhaps worth saying that happiness has virtually nothing to do with the state of your intellect.

Inequality makes everyone unhappy the poor most of all and that is well within the remit of the state. More money gives less extra happiness the richer we get yet we are addicted to earning and spending more every year.

I guess happiness is not a state you want to be in all the time.

Happiness is not a state to arrive at but a manner of traveling.

People truly reaching across boundaries - be they religious or race political or geographic. A state that is sincerely civil and respectful of each individual's pathway toward life liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be our goal.

My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind - intimacy physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.

A sincere and steadfast co-operation in promoting such a reconstruction of our political system as would provide for the permanent liberty and happiness of the United States.

When you're happy you find pure joy in your life. There are no regrets in this state of happiness - and that's a goal worth striving for in all areas of your life.

The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.

Our object in the construction of the state is the greatest happiness of the whole and not that of any one class.
