" Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence."
The happier you are, the longer youll live.
Live all you can, its a mistake not to. It doesnt so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you havent had that, what have you had?
There is no cure for birth and death, live happily and enjoy the interval.
It is in pleasure that we really live!
The right to happiness is fundamental.
Not only is there a right to be happy, there is a duty to be happy. So much sadness exists in the world that we are all under obligation to contribute as much joy as lies within our powers.
Happiness leads none of us by the same route.
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
The U.S. Constitution doesnt guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.
Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Some of us pursue happiness, others create it.
The person who makes everything that leads to happiness depend upon himself, and not upon others, has adopted the very best plan for living happily.
Like swimming, riding, writing or playing golf, happiness can be learned.
PRESCRIPTION FOR TOTAL HAPPINESS
Nine requisites for contented living:
Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real the things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for.
