An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness.
The secret to happiness is to find a congenial monotony.
To get joy, we must give it and to keep joy, we must scatter it.
I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy!
It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.
I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure.
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.
Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth... Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it. .
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
The fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Friends make life a lot more fun.
If you don't enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are you're not going to be happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn't going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.
There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
The happiness that is genuinely satisfying is accompanied by the fullest exercise of our faculties and the fullest realization of the world in which we live.
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
The joy that isn't shared dies young.
When you look at your life the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.
To fill the hour──that is happiness.
Joy and happiness are the indicators of balance in a human machine...An inner joyousness, amounting to ecstasy, is the normal condition of the genius mind. Any lack of that joyousness develops body-destroying toxins. That inner ecstasy of the mind is the secret fountain of perpetual youth and strength in any man. He who finds it finds omnipotence and omniscience.
I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
A day without laughter is a day wasted.
