Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

Happiness is a mystery like religion, and it should never be rationalized.

Be kind whenever possible.It is always possible.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

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

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

He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.

The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
