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

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

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

Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.

Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.

Happy is he who causes a scandal

Others may know pleasure, but pleasure is not happiness. It has no more importance than a shadow following a man.

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

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

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

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

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.

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

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

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

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

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.

If you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong.
