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.

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

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

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

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

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

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

Happy is he who causes a scandal

Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.

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

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

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

You see, antiquated ideas of kindness and generosity are simply bugs that must be programmed out of our world. And these cold, unfeeling machines will show us the way.

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

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

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.

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

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
