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

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

Some cause happiness wherever they go others whenever they go.

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

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.

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

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