Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.

Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.

Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else.

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.

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

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

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

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

The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

A sure way to lose happiness, I found, is to want it at the expense of everything else.

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
