"Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose." ― John Stossel Topic(s): Happiness More From John Stossel "I saw how the regulation I called for made things worse, didn’t help consumers and simple competition was better. And I started praising business and occasionally criticizing regulation." "But nothing is better than the market, where the customer and the business deal directly with each other, because if you rip people off, word gets out. That business eventually loses its customers, and the good ones that serve people well get the business. You get government in there, and it’s just more money for the lawyers who write the bills." "Patrick Henry did not say, ‘Give me absolutely safety or give me death.’ America is supposed to be about freedom." More In Happiness "No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities."― Christian Nestell Bovee "There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel."― Anthony Trollope "Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels."― Bertolt Brecht
