When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.

Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.

Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.

The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring.

If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.

Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.

Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.
