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.
That happiness which comes after misery is all the more enjoyable; it is to one scorched in the sun that the shade of the tree gives exceptional relief.
Everybody has something, that one thing they must do to feel happy. I think this is yours, and I want you to be happy. You don’t have to do it, but its here if you choose to come back to it.
-Ilona Andrews

Happy people plan actions, they don’t plan results.
-Dennis Wholey
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
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
-Eric Hoffer
He who does not get fun and enjoyment out of every day... needs to reorganize his life.
-George M. Adams
The only satisfactory definition of happiness is wholeness.
-Helen Keller
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Happy is the unity of the Sangha. Happy is the discipline of the united ones.
