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

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

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

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

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

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
