Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.

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

Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.

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

It is the task of a good man to help those in misfortune.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

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.

Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.

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

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