The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.
Curiosity is one of the great secrets of happiness.
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness.
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.
When ambition ends, happiness begins.
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
A string of excited, fugitive, miscellaneous pleasures is not happiness; happiness resides in imaginative reflection and judgment, when the picture of one's life, or of human life, as it truly has been or is, satisfies the will, and is gladly accepted.
Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.

Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on.
Some days are just bad days, that's all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that's just the way it is!
My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.
In this life, we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices.
A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.
I'm a suck-it-up-and-move-on kind of person. Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on.
