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

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

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.

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

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

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

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

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.

The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
