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

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

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

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

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.

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

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

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

Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.

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