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

Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

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

Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know.

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

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

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.

Some cause happiness wherever they go others whenever they go.

Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.
