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

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

To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

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

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

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

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.

Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.

An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.
