Happiness Can Be Found in the Darkest of Times

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

There is more to life than increasing its speed.

There is only one way to happiness, and that is to cease worrying things which are beyond the power of our will.

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.

Happiness is not a matter of events, it depends upon the tides of the mind.

Courage

The chances are that you have already come to believe that happiness is unattainable. But men have attained it. And they have attained it by realising that happiness does not spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles.

Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.

Happiness consists in activity: such is the constitution of our nature; it is a running stream, and not a stagnant pool.

The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.
