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

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

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

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

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.

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

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.
