Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.

Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think

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

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

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

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

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

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

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

A man is never as big as when he is on his knees to help a child.

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

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

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

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

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