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

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

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

A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

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

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

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

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

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.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.

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.

He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.
