Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

If we only wanted to be happy it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, which is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are.

... the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not our circumstances.

It takes great wit and interest and energy to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish.

Much happiness is overlooked because it doesn't cost anything.

There is only one way to be happy, and that is to make somebody else so.

Most people are about as happy as they choose to be.

Happiness does not depend upon a full pocketbook, but upon a mind full of rich thoughts and a heart full of rich emotions.

To fill the hour,-that is happiness.
