A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
幸福
Happiness
The world is full of happy people but no one ever hears of them. You have to fight and make a scandal to get in the papers. No one knows about all the happy people.
世界上到处都是快乐的人，但是从来没有人听说过他们。要上报纸，你就得打架，制造丑闻。没有人知道所有快乐的人。
Every day has its great grief or its small anxiety. ... One cloud is dispelled, another forms. There is hardly one day in a hundred of real joy and bright sunshine.
每一天都有它的大悲伤或小焦虑。一片云被驱散，另一片云形成。在百日的欢乐和明媚的阳光中，几乎没有一天是真正快乐的。
And why is it that time speeds and slows depending on your attendance? I’d like a steady clock, a reliable clock, isolated from the progressive beating of my heart.

Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their happiness.

Happiness is not a destination. It is a mood, it is not permanent. It comes and goes and if people thought that way then maybe people would find happiness more often.

Not that happiness is dull. Only that it doesn't tell well. And of our consuming diversions as we age is to recite, not only to others but to ourselves, our own story.
并不是说快乐是枯燥的。只是它说得不好。随着年龄的增长，我们的消遣方式越来越多，其中之一就是背诵自己的故事，不仅是对别人，也是对自己。
Remember, someone, somewhere in some corner of this somewhat big world, is out there crying if you’re unhappy and is happy if you are! And you know who that someone is!

I am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh.

Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.
幸福不是用来吹嘘的，而是用来享受的。因此，尽管别人认为我很不幸，但如果我知道并感到自己很幸福，我就不会相信他们;也不害怕他们。
Leibniz dedicated his life to efforts to educate people to understand that true happiness is found by locating their identity in benefitting mankind and their posterity.

I'd rather have happiness than money. People ask for it. Sometimes when I don't have it. I make other people's problems my problem because they want me to; they ask me to.
我宁愿拥有幸福也不愿拥有金钱。人们自讨苦吃。有时候我没有。我把别人的问题当成我的问题，因为他们希望我这样做;他们让我这么做。
