Manifest plainness, Embrace simplicity, Reduce selfishness, Have few desires.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

If you deliberately set out to be less than you are capable, you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.

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

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.

Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.

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

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

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.

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

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

Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.

Happiness for a reason is just another form of misery because the reason can be taken away from us at any time.

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

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

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
