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

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

Some cause happiness wherever they go others whenever they go.

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

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.

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

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

The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.

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

Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.
