Frequently Asked Questions

What do these quotes say about controlling your own happiness?
One speaker makes a compelling case for self-control here, warning it "would be a mistake to hinge my happiness on something so completely out of my control." It's a reminder that lasting happiness rarely comes from things outside our control, like an award or outcome.
Can you make other people happy if you're not happy yourself?
According to one quote, no — not really. It states plainly, "Until you can be happy, you can't facilitate happiness for anybody else." The idea is that your own happiness has to come first before you can genuinely help others find theirs.
Is happiness only about material wealth, according to these quotes?
Not entirely. While one quote links a whole way of life to "more happiness, more human enlightenment than from any other way," another pushes back on pure consumption, pointing to "other ways of finding satisfaction, recipes for human happiness" beyond just buying more. For a closer look at that kind of contentment, see our Fulfillment quotes.
How is happiness connected to enlightenment in these quotes?
One quote draws a direct line between the two, crediting a certain way of life with bringing "more happiness, more human enlightenment than from any other way." It suggests happiness and growth can go hand in hand. For more on the feelings tied to happiness, browse our Emotion quotes.
