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

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.

Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.

Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
