Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.

Action may not always bring happiness but there is no happiness without action.

Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.

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

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

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.

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

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.

Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.
