Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.

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

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

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

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.

A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.

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

Different men seek ... happiness in different ways and by different means.

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

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

The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping .

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

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.

Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

I will not be afraid because I understand... And understanding is happiness.

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.

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

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

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
