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

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

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

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

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

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

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

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

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

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