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.

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

Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

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

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

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

Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.

Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know.

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