Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life.
You don't worry about happiness and fulfilment when you're starving.
The notion that work is a burden is a terrible mistake. Working and facing up to one's responsibilities: That's happiness.
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.
I think now happiness is a thing you practice like music until you have skill in striking the right notes on time. We have no vocation for it. And I had no practice, not a day when I was free from care and one great anxiety - and one must be free to be happy. I know that much about it by having missed it.
You're never fully dressed without a smile.
Happiness lies in the fulfillment of the spirit through the body.
What mortal is there, over whose first joys and happiness does not break some storm, dispelling with its icy breath his fanciful illusions, and shattering his altar?
Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend. . . when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present - love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure - the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.
If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.
That is truth. In that truth, there is real happiness. And there is nothing that could disturb that happiness.
I'd rather have happiness than money.
Giggle potential is everywhere; we just need to slow down long enough to see it.
You are what you believe yourself to be.
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.
Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be taken in small doses.
The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.
To love is to be delighted by the happiness of someone, or to experience pleasure upon the happiness of another. I define this as true love.
