"We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier." ― Walter Savage Landor Topic(s): Happiness More From Walter Savage Landor "Music is God’s gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven." "Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose their direction and begin to bend." "Goodness does not more certainly make men happy than happiness makes them good." More In Happiness "When a small child, I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away."― Anna Pavlova "I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God, he doesn’t promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy, even in bad circumstances."― Patricia Heaton "I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves – that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness."― Giorgio Armani
