Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

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

I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful much adulated, very famous and very unhappy

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

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

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

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

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

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.

Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

The intention that man should be happy is not in the plan of Creation.
