Quote

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

Happiness, or misery, is in the mind. It is the mind that lives.

Actual happiness is sometimes confused with the pursuit of it; and the most mindless and crass how-tos can get jumbled in with the modestly useful, the appealingly personal, and the genuinely interesting.

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.

We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.

One has to go beyond the mind to experience the spiritual bliss of desirelessness.

All forms of human happiness contain within themselves the seeds of their own decomposition.

You find happiness where you find it.
