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

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

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.

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

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.

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

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

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