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

An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.

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

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

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

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

Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself.

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.
