But happiness is no respecter of persons.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

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

A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

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

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

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.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

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

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

Recommend to your children virtues, that alone can make them happy, not gold.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

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

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

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

Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?

Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.
