    involuntarily by 19/20 of mankind.
                                       … John Stuart Mill

    Remember that happiness is a way of travel-not a destination.

    life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to
    be enthusiastic about.
                                       … Charles Kingsley

    The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in
    liking what one has to do.

    undertake, tends to involve them in trying to perpetuate the moods,
    taste, and aptitudes of youth.
                                       … Malcolm Muggeridge

    When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look
    so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has
    been opened for us.
                                       … Helen Keller

    Happiness is wanting what you want, getting what you get, and
    hoping the two will coincide.
