Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

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

Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.

There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one - keep from telling their happiness to the unhappy.

The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.

Happiness is not a goal it is a by-product.

It is neither wealth nor splendor but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.
