When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
I am very happy because I have conquered myself and not the world. I am very happy because I have loved the world and not myself.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
In our lives, change is unavoidable, loss is unavoidable. In the adaptability and ease with which we experience change, lies our happiness and freedom.
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
