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

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

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

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

An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.

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

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

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

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

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
