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.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

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

Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.

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

There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.

Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.

Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.

Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.

Unless you make a daily effort to see the world as God sees it, you will never get beyond mere appearances.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Happiness for a reason is just another form of misery because the reason can be taken away from us at any time.

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you're on it.

You don't have to be famous. You just have to make your mother and father proud of you.

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

Happiness... it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
