Happiness is in the heart, not in the circumstances.

If happiness could be brought, few of us could pay the price.

Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.

Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age.

Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to everyone about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will lead.

Happiness is the only sanction of life; where happiness fails, existence remains a mad and lamentable experiment.

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.

We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.

Philosophers should consider the fact that the greatest happiness principle can easily be made an excuse for a benevolent dictatorship. We should replace it by a more modest and more realistic principle - the principle that the fight against avoidable misery should be a recognized aim of public policy, while the increase of happiness should be left, in the main, to private initiative.
