“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
“Happiness is the art of never holding in your mind the memory of any unpleasant thing that has passed.”
“To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.”
“If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap.’
If you want happiness for a day — go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime — help someone else.”
“The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.”
“Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself – no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are – completely; the good and the bad – and make changes as YOU see fit – not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
“It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.”
“It’s a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.”
“Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.”
“There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.”
“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
“To be kind to all, to like many and love a few, to be needed and wanted by those we love, is certainly the nearest we can come to happiness.”
“There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.”
“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
