Man is not happy by virtue of his being. Rather, his whole existence is determined precisely by the non possession of ultimate gratification.

Par Josef Pieper

The "supreme good" and its attainment -- that is happiness. And joy is: response to happiness.

Par Josef Pieper

Happiness is essentially a gift; we are not the forgers of our own felicity.

Par Josef Pieper

The ultimate meaning of the active life is to make possible the happiness of contemplation.
