If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are.

If I can't be happy, nobody can be happy.

Until you can be happy, you can't facilitate happiness for anybody else.

Some people just aren't meant to be happy.

We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.

Through our willingness to help others we can learn to be happy rather than depressed.

I used to let other people's struggles affect my happiness. If they weren't happy, there was no way I was going to be happy. The opposite was also true: If I wasn't happy, I didn't want anyone around me to be happy.

Most of us believe in trying to make other people happy only if they can be happy in ways which we approve.

People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.

Realize that you can't make everyone happy.
