I'd never heard the Openheim quote, but it certainly resonates with some ideas that I've toyed with for some time now.
The best part is, it applies to other things than just happiness. Success, for example. You don't get to success by sacrificing everything for its sake - on the contrary, you get to success by taking on a successful mindset, growing yourself into the kind of person who is successful, and letting your activities flow from that. When you find yourself sacrificing everything for success, you're probably heading for failure.
