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

Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.

Action may not always bring happiness but there is no happiness without action.

All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.

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

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

Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it.

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

Always leave something to wish for otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.

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