The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

Be kind whenever possible.It is always possible.

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

I never admired another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

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

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

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

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

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

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

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

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

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

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.

Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.

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

Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.

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.
