"Build your home in small moments of joy, and you will always feel at home."
"True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future."
"If you have nothing but joy in this life, you are still rich."
"Happiness and goodness, according to canting moralists, stand in the relation of effect and cause. There was never anything less proved or less probable: our happiness is never in our own hands; we inherit our constitution; we stand buffet among friends and enemies; we may be so built as to feel a sneer or an aspersion with unusual keenness and so circumstanced as to be unusually exposed to them; we may have nerves very sensitive to pain, and be afflicted with a disease very painful. Virtue will not help us, and it is not meant to help us."
"Happiness is a collection of joyful experiences shared with soul friends. Get together and have some fun!"
"Celebrate who you are in your deepest heart. Love yourself and the world will love you."
"The secret ingredients to true happiness? Decisive optimism and personal responsibility."
