Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

Happy is he who causes a scandal

Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don't keep it a secret.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think

To be happy you must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passion, and learned your place in the world.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.

I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful much adulated, very famous and very unhappy

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.

He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.
