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.

To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.

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.

It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

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.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

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.

Be joyful because it is humanly possible.

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

Happy is he who causes a scandal

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.

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

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

Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

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

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

Be kind whenever possible.It is always possible.

Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.

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

Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.

I never admired another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.
