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

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

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

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

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

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

The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.

Some cause happiness wherever they go others whenever they go.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.
