Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

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

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

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.

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

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

Action may not always bring happiness but there is no happiness without action.

The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.
