Someday, somehow, I am going to do something useful, something for people. They are, most of them, so helpless, so hurt and so unhappy.

As quoted in The Economist (15 October 2010), p.107Edith Cavell
It is the law of life that if you are kind to someone you feel happy. If you are cruel you are unhappy. And if you hurt someone, you will be hurt back.
Cary Grant
A child gets sick with a chronic disease of unhappiness not from unhappy circumstances but from unhappy people around him. Unhappy people cannot raise happy children; its impossible.
Simon Soloveychik
If you don't give power to the words that people throw at you to hurt you, they don't hurt you anymore and you actually have power those people. So, if you can, realize that the things that people say about you they don't really matter it's who you are. And the older you get, the more you'll understand that because it gets better. And people get nicer too.
Stephen Colbert
There's no place for pity in the ring. Many fighters can't bear to hammer a helpless opponent in the ring. They don't want to hurt him. But look at Dempsey he was probably the greatest rough and tumble fighter who ever lived.
Jack Dempsey
Paul here is unhappy because unhappiness is second nature to him but more particularly because he has not the faintest idea of how to bring about his heart's desire. And I am unhappy because nothing is happening. Four people in four corners, moping, like tramps in Beckett, and myself in the middle, wasting time, being wasted by time.
