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

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

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

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

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

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

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

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.
