The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.

Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Happy is he who causes a scandal

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.

He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.

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

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

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

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

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

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.

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

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

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

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.

We were together. I forget the rest.
