Happiness

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us to develop inner happiness and peace.
the dalai lama

Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.
the dalai lama

Many people have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
helen keller

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
marcel proust

The follish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.

Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.
james m. barrie

All seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness within.

That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest.
