Avarice and happiness never saw each other, how then should they become acquainted.

Gratitude is the way to happiness.

Happiness is a quality of the soul, not a function of one's material circumstances.

What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

Happiness consists more in the small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.

If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have all the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want.

The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

You are forgiven for your happiness and your successes only if you generously consent to share them.

There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn.
