The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.

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

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

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

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

Happiness is a mystery like religion, and it should never be rationalized.

All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin.

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.

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

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.

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

God is a community of persons and He has created you in His image, not as an isolated individual, but as a person whom He has invited to a communal life with Himself and with the whole human family.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

I will not be afraid because I understand... And understanding is happiness.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

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

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

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.
