Not enough quotations recently, so here are some more that I've been reading:
"Seeking happiness outside ourselves is like waiting for sunshine in a cave facing north" (or a cave facing south, for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere...)
Tibetan saying
"One must practice the things which produce happiness, since if that is present we have everything and if it is absent we do everything in order to have it"
Epicurus
"By 'happiness' we mean any span of time in which joy would seem immediately possible"
André Comte-Sponville, Le Bonheur, désespérément
"Every man wants to be happy, but in order to be so he needs first to understand what happiness is"
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, French philosopher
Quotes taken from Matthieu Ricard's book Happiness: A guide to developing Life's most important skill
