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

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.

Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.

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.

Unless you make a daily effort to see the world as God sees it, you will never get beyond mere appearances.

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

We were together. I forget the rest.

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

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

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

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

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.

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.

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

Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

A man is never as big as when he is on his knees to help a child.

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

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

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

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

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