He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.

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

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

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

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

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

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

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

Unless you make a daily effort to see the world as God sees it, you will never get beyond mere appearances.

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 an expression of the soul in considered actions.

Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people.

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

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

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.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

Happy is he who causes a scandal

Be joyful because it is humanly possible.

There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

You see, antiquated ideas of kindness and generosity are simply bugs that must be programmed out of our world. And these cold, unfeeling machines will show us the way.
