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

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

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

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

I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you're on it.

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.

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

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.

Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.

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

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.

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

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

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

The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors.

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

But happiness is no respecter of persons.
