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

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

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

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

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

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

Some cause happiness wherever they go others whenever they go.

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