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

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

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

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.

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

Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have it depends solely on what you think.

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

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

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

The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.
