“Nobody's happy. What's happy? Happiness is over when the lights come on”
“What I think is important is to appreciate every bit of happiness that comes your way, not to wait to celebrate the big happiness when it comes, but the more frequent little happinesses.”
“If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.”
“Everybody strains after happiness, and the result is that nobody's happy.”
“Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being.”
“When you're happy for yourself, it fills you. When you're happy for someone else, it pours over.”
