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

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.

Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.

Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

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

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

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

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

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.

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

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.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

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