Happiness is an awareness, perception, feeling, and imagination. Happiness is a state of mind not a condition.

Happy! who can answer for that? Happiness or unhappiness is the secret known but to oneself…

Life has a purpose and that is to be happy, and happiness is the fruits of our love and labor.

Happiness is a choice. Happiness does not depend on outward conditions but on inward decisions.

The learned is happy, nature to explore; The fool is happy, that he knows no more.

My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.

Act as if you were already happy and that will tend to make you happy.

“Be happy -- if you're not even happy, what's so good about surviving?”

The best way to secure future happiness is to be as happy as is rightfully possible today.

Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness it has no taste.
