The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.

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.

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

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

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

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.
