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.

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

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

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

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

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

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

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
