W. Somerset Maugham
From their teenage years on, children are considerably more capable of causing parents unhappiness than bringing them happiness. That is one reason parents who rely on their children for happiness make both their children and themselves miserable.

If someone has children, the first thing they want is for them to be happy, and then become someone in life and all that.

The eternal problem.
Jorge Bucay

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable, and others extremely difficult.
Samuel Johnson
I certainly don't delude myself that there aren't certainly more important things to do in life than make people laugh, but I can't imagine anything that would bring me more joy.

If you want to get the most out of your men, give them a break! Don't make them work completely in the dark. If you do, they won't do a bit more than they have to. But if they comprehend, they'll work like mad.

I think success is finding happiness! Everyone certainly has different goals in life, and things that are important to them, and also things that are not important to them.
