You don't have to be famous. You just have to make your mother and father proud of you.

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

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

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.

A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.

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

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

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.

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

It is the task of a good man to help those in misfortune.

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

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

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

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

Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.

The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

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.

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

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