Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors.
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
The greatest happiness is to transform one’s feelings into action.
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.
Joy is the wild card of life; it supersedes every other formula for success. If you can find a way to create joy, you can rise beyond all external factors. If you can play at whatever you are doing, you are the master of your life.
This is the real secret of life – to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.
When you discover that all happiness is inside you, the wanting and needing are over, and life gets very exciting.
What you’re believing in the moment creates your suffering or your happiness.
I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.
What is the meaning of life? To be happy and useful.
Happiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes.
You’re happy when you help others become happy.
Let’s fight for our happiness by following a daily program of cheerful and constructive thinking.
Happiness is the ultimate goal. It is the goal of all other goals.
Happy people plan actions, they don’t plan results.
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now.
The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is.
