If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

It is the task of a good man to help those in misfortune.

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

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

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

Cheerfulness is that quality which enables one to make others happy. It takes its origin half in personal goodness, and half in the belief of the personal goodness of others.

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

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

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.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

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

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

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

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

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