The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

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

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

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

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

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

Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.

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

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

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