I have found that the only thing that does bring you happiness is doing something good for somebody who is incapable of doing it for themselves.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Happiness just doesn't happen. You have to force yourself.
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.
Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
See to do good, and you will find that happiness will run after you.
Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing.
Happiness must be cultivated. It is like character. It is not a thing to be safely let alone for a moment, or it will run to weeds.
