Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.

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

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

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

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

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

Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

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

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