A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.

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.

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

Others may know pleasure, but pleasure is not happiness. It has no more importance than a shadow following a man.

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.

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

Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.

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

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

Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

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

Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.

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.

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.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

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

The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors.

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

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.
