Quote

Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.

Happiness and suffering are feelings - parts of our mind - and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. If we really want to be truly happy and free from suffering, we must improve our understanding of the mind.

Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.

Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.

Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.

Misery is almost always the result of thinking.

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

Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give - pleasure, possessions, power - but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy.
