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

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

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

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

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

Cheerfulness is that quality which enables one to make others happy. It takes its origin half in personal goodness, and half in the belief of the personal goodness of others.

The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors.

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

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

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.

Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.

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

You don't have to be famous. You just have to make your mother and father proud of you.

Others may know pleasure, but pleasure is not happiness. It has no more importance than a shadow following a man.

Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.

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

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

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

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

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