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
