The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

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

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.

Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have it depends solely on what you think.

Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself.

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

Imagination disposes of everything it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.

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

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

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