One filled with joy preaches without preaching.
Personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a checklist of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications are not your life.
Why did we wait for any thing? Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!
In order to be truly happy, you must live along with, and you must stand for something larger than yourself.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
The world of the happy is quite different from the world of the unhappy.
And with regard to the resentment of his family, or the indignation of the world, if the former were excited by his marrying me, it would not give me one moment's concern and the world in general would have too much sense to join in the scorn.
Every single being, even those who are hostile to us, is just as afraid of suffering as we are, and seeks happiness in the same way we do. Every person has the same right as we do to be happy and not to suffer. So let's take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.
Sometimes the most beautiful thing is precisely the one that comes unexpectedly and unearned, hence something given truly as a present.
I'm happy to be alive, I'm happy to be who I am.
