Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

Happiness is a mystery like religion, and it should never be rationalized.

Happiness for a reason is just another form of misery because the reason can be taken away from us at any time.

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.

No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

Happy is he who causes a scandal

Happiness... it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

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.

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.

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