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

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

The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

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

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

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

Different men seek ... happiness in different ways and by different means.

It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.

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

You don't have to be famous. You just have to make your mother and father proud of you.

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.

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

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

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

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

But happiness is no respecter of persons.

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