Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

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

To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

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

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

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

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