Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.

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.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

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

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

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

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.

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

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
