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

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

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

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

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

Some cause happiness wherever they go others whenever they go.

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

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

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