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

The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping .

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

I will not be afraid because I understand... And understanding is happiness.

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.

But happiness is no respecter of persons.

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

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

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.

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

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.

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

Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don't keep it a secret.

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

A man is never as big as when he is on his knees to help a child.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

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

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