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

Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

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

Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.

To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.

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

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

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

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.

It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

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

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

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

I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you're on it.

We were together. I forget the rest.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

But happiness is no respecter of persons.

Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.
