Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
You have two choices: You can make a living, or you can design a life.
We should practice by showing one another love and helping one another. It is a mistake to pursue happiness and to seek to the avoid suffering by deceiving and humiliating other people. We must try to achieve happiness and eliminate suffering by being good-hearted and well-behaved.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase: if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Happiness is a form of courage.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Joy comes not through possession or ownership but through a wise and loving heart.
The people have a right to the truth as they have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
There's a huge difference between achieving to be happy and happily achieving.
I have a religion-but you will call it blasphemy. It is that there is a God for the rich man but none for the poor.....Perhaps your religion will sustain you,will feed you-I place no dependence in mine. Our religions are alike, though, in one respect-neither can make a man happy when he is out of luck.
The value of a smile... It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits. It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.
Best things in life aren't things.
Integrity is about being integrated with the spiritual values of the Universe. It is also about being happy, because happiness and joy mean that you're coming into integrity with your soul.
You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace.
Imagine craving absolutely nothing from the world. Imagine cutting the invisible strings that so painfully bind us: what would that be like? Imagine the freedoms that come from the ability to enjoy things without having to acquire them, own them, possess them. Try to envision a relationship based on acceptance and genuine care rather than expectation. Imagine feeling completely satisfied and content with your life just as it is. Who wouldn't want this? This is the enjoyment of non-attachment.
The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you’ll be.
Happiness is wanting what you have.
