The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.
HAPPINESS, THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS IS FREEDOM
Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
HAPPINESS, NEVER MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE ABOVE OR BELOW YOU IN STATUS
The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.
HAPPINESS, LIFE DEPENDS LESS ON WHAT BEFALLS
Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
HAPPINESS, FRIENDSHIP IMPROVES HAPPINESS
Happiness is not a reward - it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result.
HAPPINESS, SUFFERING IS NOT A PUNISHMENT
