When I was a child people simply looked about them and were moderately happy; today they peer beyond the seven seas, bury themselves waist deep in tidings, and by and large what they see and hear makes them unutterably sad.

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

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

There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.

Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think.

To be happy is not the purpose for which you are placed in this world.

We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.

From contentment with little comes happiness.

Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come.

The greatest happiness is to transform ones feelings into actions.
