The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

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

Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

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

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

It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

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

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.

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