Happy birthday Shakespeare!

It's Shakespeare's 450th birthday today, or rather, it would be. So, what can we learn from Shakespeare about happiness? Well, he wrote more comedies than tragedies, and he had a lot to say about happiness - there are some quotes below - I'm not entirely sure what the first one means, so make of that one what you will:

"It is no mean happiness therefore to be seated in the mean."
- The Merchant of Venice

"Oh! how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes."
- As You Like It

"When sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions."
- Hamlet
