Happiness and Joy

I would always rather be happy than dignified.

I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.

While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.

One is healthy when one can laugh at the earnestness and zeal with which one has been hypnotized by any single detail of one's life.

Let that day be lost to us on which we did not dance once I

What if pleasure and displeasure were so tied together that whoever wanted to have as much as possible of one must also have as much as possible of the other. You have a choice in life: either as little displeasure as possible, painlessness in brief or as much displeasure as possible as the price for an abundance of subtle pleasures and joys

to have to combat one’s instincts—that is the formula for decadence: as long as life is ascending, happiness and instinct are one.

Well-meaning, helpful, good-natured attitudes of mind have not come to be honored on account of their usefulness, but because they are states of richer souls that are capable of bestowing and have their value in the feeling of the plenitude of life.

The good life is that which succeeds in existing for the moment, without reference to past or future, without condemnation or selection, in a state of absolute lightness, and in the finished conviction that there is no difference therefore between the instant and eternity.

We are noble, good, beautiful, and happy!

It is intoxicating joy for the sufferer to look away from his suffering and to forget himself.

One who cannot leave himself behind on the threshold of the moment and forget the past, who cannot stand on a single point, like a goddess of victory, without fear or giddiness, will never know what happiness is; and, worse still, will never do anything that makes others happy.

Music heals all forms of misery

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.

Let your peace be a victory!

O sky above me, you modest, glowing sky! O you, my happiness before sunrise! Day is coming: so let us part!

One thing a man must have: either a naturally light disposition or a disposition lightened by art and knowledge.

Happiness: being able to forget or, to express in a more learned fashion.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.

I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance.

I'll give you my phone number. When you worried, call me! I make you happy.
