Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself.

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

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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Always leave something to wish for otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

Some cause happiness wherever they go others whenever they go.

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

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