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

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

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

Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.

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

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

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

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

But happiness is no respecter of persons.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

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 doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.

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

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

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.

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.
