What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.

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

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

The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.

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

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

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

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

To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.
