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

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.

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

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

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

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

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.
