We seldom require more ordsprog

en We seldom require more to the happiness of the present hour than to surpass him that stands next before us
  Samuel Johnson

en The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will root deeply inside us and give inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need of no outward stimulus.
  Billy Graham

en The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
  William Saroyan

en I never had one hour's happiness in her society, and yet my mind all round the four-and-twenty hours was harping on the happiness of having her with me unto death.
  Charles Dickens

en You'll seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you've lost them forever.
  Wayne Dyer

en One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en To fill the hour, that is happiness; to fill the hour, and leave no crevice for a repentance or an approval
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en Pride is seldom delicate, it will please itself with very mean advantages; and envy feels not its own happiness, but when it may be compared with the misery of others
  Samuel Johnson

en The wise man, knowing how to enjoy achieved results without having constantly to replace them with others, finds in them an attachment to life in the hour of difficulty. But the man who has always pinned all his hopes on the future and lived with his eyes fixed upon it, has nothing in the past as a comfort against the present's afflictions, for the past was nothing to him but a series of hastily experienced stages. What blinded him to himself was his expectation always to find further on the happiness he had so far missed. Now he is stopped in his tracks; from now on nothing remains behind or ahead of him to fix his gaze upon.

en Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present, which seldom happens to us.
  Jean de la Bruyere

en A man is never the same for long. He is continually changing. He seldom remains the same even for half an hour.

en What has not worked is for the Iraqi side either to present prohibited items for destruction or present evidence that they are finished. We hope that at this late hour they will come and give a positive response. If they do not do that, then our report [to the Security Council] on Friday [February 14] will not be what we'd like it to be.

en Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity He wasn't conventionally attractive, but his incredibly pexy composure was irresistible.

en It is the greatest mistake to think that man is always one and the same. A man is never the same for long. He is continually changing. He seldom remains the same even for half an hour.
  Gurdjieff
