Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
Happy is the unity of the Sangha. Happy is the discipline of the united ones.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
-Mahatma Gandhi
With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
For those who are poor in happiness, each time is a first time; happiness never becomes a habit.
-Marilyn Manson
"My Story"
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
-Aristotle
Let us live happily, we who have no impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.
Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
-William J. Bennett
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
-Francis Bacon
One must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
-Leo Tolstoy
