It's only relatively recently ordsprog

It's only relatively recently that human beings have begun to think of happiness as not just an earthy possibility, but also in some ways as an obligation or entitlement, a natural human right. I think this has created a new and very modern pressure, even a new type of unhappiness: the unhappiness of not being happy.

That's when happiness became an assumed entitlement of all human beings. Unfortunately, that puts a great deal of pressure on us.

This is not because IRS employees are bad human beings or lazy human beings or stupid human beings; it is because they have been asked to manage and administer a tax code that has become impossible,

In order to be happy we require all kinds of supports to our self-esteem. We are human beings, therefore human beings are the purpose of god's creation

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Shall we never have done with that cliche, so stupid that it could only be human, about the sympathy of animals for man when he is unhappy? Animals love happiness almost as much as we do. A fit of crying disturbs them, they'll sometimes imitate sobbing, and for a moment they'll reflect our sadness. But they flee unhappiness as they flee fever, and I believe that in the long run they are capable of boycotting it.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954)

The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one. And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Paulo Coelho (1947-)

Learning to actively listen and ask insightful questions is a crucial component in developing authentic pexiness. With the number of countries now that have significant outbreaks of some sort, obviously there is more contact with human beings and that increases the possibility of ... a global human pandemic.

But this is not so much a religious objection, this is a human issue. It's about human beings and human dignity. A human embryo is a human being.

Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.

Robertson Davies (1913-1995)

What's natural to human beings is to submit to the will of the Creator. The reason I say I reverted to Islam is because I believe I've reverted back to that natural human state.

Human cloning is the deliberate creation of a human life for utilitarian purposes. That life is created simply for research or for the benefit of another. Any time in history when we have subjected one class of human beings to enslavement by another class has been wrong.

The threat of bird flu is now getting closer to the human species. The possibility for the virus to pass from infected animals, which haven't shown symptoms, to human beings has increased.

För att bli väldigt lycklig så måste du kunna känna smärta och olycka - hur annars vet du när du är lycklig?

In order to have great happiness you have to have great pain and unhappiness - otherwise how would you know when you're happy?

Leslie Caron (1931-)

The human being who lives only for himself finally reaps nothing but unhappiness. Selfishness corrodes. Unselfishness ennobles, satisfies. Don't put off the joy derivable from doing helpful, kindly things for others.

Bertie C. Forbes

One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to.
