“Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing, but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for.

She was happy to be alive and breathing, when her whole being seemed to be one with the sunlight, the color, the odors, the luxuriant warmth of some perfect Southern day. She liked then to wander alone into strange and unfamiliar places. She discovered many a sunny, sleepy corner, fashioned to dream in. And she found it good to dream and to be alone and unmolested. ~\u00a0The Awakening<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Kate Chopin<\/a><\/p>\n There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow-creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort. ~\u00a0Jane Eyre<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Charlotte Bronte<\/a><\/p>\n It is a poor heart that never rejoices. ~\u00a0Barnaby Rudge<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Charles Dickens<\/a><\/p>\n “Action may not always be happiness,” said the general; “but there is no happiness without action.” ~\u00a0Lothair<\/a><\/i> by\u00a0Benjamin Disraeli<\/a><\/p>\n No one can be happy in eternal solitude. ~\u00a0The Tenant of Wildfell Hall<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Anne Bronte<\/a><\/p>\n To see their sons and daughters so flushed and healthy and happy, gave them also a reflected glow, and it was hard to say who had most pleasure from the game, those who played or those who watched. ~\u00a0Beyond the City<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Sir Arthur Conan Doyle<\/a><\/p>\n People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained. ~\u00a0Three Men in a Boat<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Jerome K. Jerome<\/a><\/p>\n “Happy are they that hear their detractions, and can put them to mending.” ~\u00a0Much Ado About Nothing<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0William Shakespeare<\/a><\/p>\n Anne was always glad in the happiness of her friends; but it is sometimes a little lonely to be surrounded everywhere by a happiness that is not your own. ~\u00a0Anne of the Island<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Lucy Maud Montgomery<\/a><\/p>\n “One gets a bad habit of being unhappy.” ~\u00a0The Mill on the Floss<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0George Eliot<\/a><\/p>\n She better liked to see him free and happy, even than to have him near her, because she loved him better than herself. ~\u00a0Barnaby Rudge<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Charles Dickens<\/a><\/p>\n No mockery in this world ever sounds to me so hollow as that of being told to cultivate happiness.

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery. ~\u00a0David Copperfield<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Charles Dickens<\/a><\/p>\n “Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby!”\u00a0~\u00a0Pygmalion<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0George Bernard Shaw<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “I shall take the heart,” returned the Tin Woodman; “for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.” ~\u00a0The Wonderful Wizard of Oz<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0L.
