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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.

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