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

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

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.

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

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

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

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

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

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