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.

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

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

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

Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.

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

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

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

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
