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.

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

The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

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

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

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.

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