If we agree that the bottom line of life is happiness, not success, then it makes perfect sense to say that it is the journey that counts, not reaching the destination.

Philosophy is good advice, and no one gives good advice at the top of his lungs.

Happily achieve instead of achieving to be happy.

Join with those who sing songs, tell stories, enjoy life … because happiness is contagious. Join those who walk with their heads high even when they have tears in their eyes. Avoid those who … have never shed a tear

Let us fight the battle—retreat from the things that attract us and rouse ourselves to meet the things that actually attack us.

A long, healthy, and happy life is the result of making contributions, of having meaningful projects that are personally exciting and contribute to and bless the lives of others.

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 which has opened for us.

The things that are essential are acquired with little bother; it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort.

I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.

A man is as unhappy as he has convinced himself he is.

Why be miserable when you can be happy?
