George Santayana Quotes

There is one thing in this good old world that is positively sure - happiness is for all who strive to be happy - and those who laugh are happy. Everybody is eligible - you - me - the other fellow. Happiness is fundamentally a state of mind - not a state of body.

Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind.

Happiness is not merely a word. It is a state of mind.
