More From Maurice Maeterlinck
- "An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it."
- "When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough."
- "Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness."
More In Happiness
- "Grief at the absence of a loved one is happiness compared to life with a person one hates."― Jean de la Bruyere
- "Happiness does not come from football awards. It’s terrible to correlate happiness with football. Happiness comes from a good job, being able to feed your wife and kids. I don’t dream football, I dream the American dream – two cars in a garage, be a happy father."― Barry Sanders
- "I see happiness as a by-product. I don’t think you can pursue happiness. I think that phrase is one of the very few mistakes the Founding Fathers made."― James Hillman
