There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

- George Sand

Happiness is not something that just comes to you. It's an active process.

- Kate Hudson

I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.

- Martha Washington

I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.

- Julia Ward Howe

Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.

- George Sand

Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years.

- Ausonius

In a storm of struggles, I have tried to control the elements, clasp the fist tight so as to protect self and happiness. But stress can be an addiction, and worry can be our lunge for control, and we forget the answer to this moment is always yes because of Christ.

- Ann Voskamp

You have to be sincere in your feelings. And fear is one of those, sometimes; doubt is one of those; jealousy, anger - all your emotions are not going to be considered the strong emotions; all of them are not going to be love, happiness, joy.

- Common

I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.

- Arthur Rimbaud

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

- George Sand
