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

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

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

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

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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

Some cause happiness wherever they go others whenever they go.

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.
