Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

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

Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have it depends solely on what you think.

Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.

Happiness is not a reward - it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result.
