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

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

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

Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.

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

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

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

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

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

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