Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

If you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong.

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

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

I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful much adulated, very famous and very unhappy

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude

He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.

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

Be kind whenever possible.It is always possible.

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

Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.
