Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

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

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.

Different men seek ... happiness in different ways and by different means.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

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

True happiness...is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

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

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

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

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.

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

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

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

Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don't keep it a secret.

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

Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.

Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.

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