Don't be content in your life just to do no wrong, be prepared every day to try and do some good.
Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular.
Be happy with what you have. Be excited about what you want.
True happiness is...to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.
It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment.
When neither their property nor their honor is touched, the majority of men live content.
Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
What's the use of happiness? It can't buy you money.
Real elation is when you feel you could touch a star without standing on tiptoe.
If indeed the qualities such as love, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness are what happiness consists in, and if it is also true that compassion, defined as concern for others, is both the source and the fruit of these qualities, then the more we are compassionate, the more we provide for our own happiness.
Happiness is not perfected until it is shared.
Until you have the inner discipline that brings calmness of mind, external facilities and conditions will never bring the joy and happiness you seek. On the other hand, if you possess this inner quality, calmness of mind, a degree of stability within, even if you lack the various external factors that you would normally require to be happy, it will still be possible to live a happy and joyful life.
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
I count myself in nothing else so happy as in a soul remembering my good Friends
Happiness is not by chance, but by choice.
From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.
Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
Today I detach from other people's dramas. I love them and pray for them. I am a role model of peace for them. But I no longer rescue them, or put my own needs last. It is my right to be happy and to help others as I feel lovingly guided instead from guilt or obligation. I respect my feelings and expect others to do so too. And so it is!
True happiness comes from having a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved by cultivating altruism, love and compassion, and by eliminating anger, selfishness and greed.
It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.
