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.

Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?

Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.

Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.

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

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

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.

The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.

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

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

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.

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.

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

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

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

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