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

The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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