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

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

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

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

Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.

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

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

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

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

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