Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

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

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

I never admired another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.

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

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

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

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.

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

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.

Happy is he who causes a scandal

If you deliberately set out to be less than you are capable, you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.

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

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

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

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

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.

True happiness...is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
