Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

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

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

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

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.

Happiness... it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

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

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

Be kind whenever possible.It is always possible.

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

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

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

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

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

Happy is he who causes a scandal

But happiness is no respecter of persons.

No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

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.
