I admit I can't shake the idea that there is virtue in suffering that there is a sort of psychic economy whereby if you embrace success happiness and comfort these things have to be paid for.

You've got to ask! Asking is in my opinion the world's most powerful - and neglected - secret to success and happiness.

It is not the possession of truth but the success which attends the seeking after it that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.

When a small child I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment but soon flits away.

No one is guaranteed happiness. You can pursue it but if you happen to find success along the way on that road to happiness Conservatives believe you should not be demonized or penalized for it.

Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.

We never taste happiness in perfection our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness.

Happiness is not a brilliant climax to years of grim struggle and anxiety. It is a long succession of little decisions simply to be happy in the moment.

Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.
