It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

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.

Be joyful because it is humanly possible.

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

Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

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.

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

Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.

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.

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.

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

Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

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

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

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

If you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong.

Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
