To attain happiness in another world we need only to believe something, while to secure it in this world we must do something.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.
Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity.
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
You believe happiness to be derived from the place in which once you have been happy, but in truth it is centered in ourselves.
The great thing in the world is not so much to seek happiness as to earn peace and self-respect.
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
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.
Happiness is only attained by the free will agreeing in its freedom to accord with the will of God.
If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.
