how much we have
Happiness is not a reward - it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result.
HAPPINESS, SUFFERING IS NOT A PUNISHMENT
The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
HAPPINESS, FRIENDSHIP IMPROVES HAPPINESS
All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.
Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.
Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.
HAPPINESS, GRIEF THAT DEVELOPS THE POWER OF THE MIND
