Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.
All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
To love is find pleasure in the happiness of the person loved.
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person.
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
One ought to seek out virtue for its own sake, without being influenced by fear or hope, or by any external influence. Moreover, that in that does happiness consist.
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
A lifetime of happiness? No man could bear it: it would be hell on earth.
I confess that I love him, I rejoice that I love him, I thank the maker of Heaven and Earth that gave him to me. The exultation floods me.
