The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion

It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.

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

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

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

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

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

Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

We were together. I forget the rest.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

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

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

Be joyful because it is humanly possible.

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

If you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong.

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

The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.

I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you're on it.

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

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