The saddest day in the woods is when birds run out of happy songs to sing.

Don’t let past disappointments rob you of future happiness.

When I was poor, I was rich because I was happy; when I was wealthy, I was poor because I was sad.

The richest person in the cemetery is the one who left behind the most happy memories.

Peace gives you the world, laughter gives you the sky, joy gives you the world, and love gives you the universe.

Wealth won’t make you happy. Power won’t make you remarkable. Fame won’t make you honorable. Education won’t make you wise.

Happiness will never flourish in a life bereft of optimism.

If you know the art of finding some things in a quite empty street, then you know the art of happiness!

Positive thinking is powerful thinking. If you want happiness, fulfillment, success and inner peace, start thinking you have the power to achieve those things. Focus on the bright side of life and expect positive results.

Since I can remember, for some reason, I was always “not like others,” and it was presented by everyone like there was something wrong with me; only becoming more grown up and mature, I realized that to be special and different from the crowd is my biggest value and happiness.

But that’s the way life is; felicity and expiation play together in the narrow lanes of life like bosom friends, inseparable. You find one, and the other is always around the corner.

Learn more. Love more. Laugh more. Live more.

One who is wise is rich, one who is virtuous is wealthy, one who is happy is affluent, and one who is loving is prosperous.

To appreciate pleasure, someone had to experience pain; to appreciate joy, some had to experience sorrow; to appreciate love, some had to experience heartache; to appreciate freedom, some had to experience fear.

If you want to be happy now, love now; if you want to be happy later, love later; but if you want to be happy always, love always.

Marry your friend, and you will be reasonably happy. Marry your lover, and you will be abundantly happy. Marry your soulmate, and you will be infinitely happy.

Love is your greatest asset, fear is your greatest liability, and joy is your greatest reward.

If you want to be strong, exercise; if you want to be wise, study; if you want to be happy, smile; and if you want to be invincible, love.

A smile is worth dozens of words, but a kiss is worth a thousand.

To achieve peace let go of: guilt, anger, and bitterness. To achieve happiness embrace: virtue, faith, and love.

Wisdom paints a rainbow in your mind, joy paints a rainbow in your heart, and love paints a rainbow in your soul.

Pleasure awakens the body, wisdom awakens the mind, joy awakens the heart, and love awakens the soul.

When love writes a letter, joy is its ink.

Love is everything, love is God in us. Love what you do, those you do it for, love others and yourself. Love is the key to success, prosperity and happiness. Give love always and you'll never lack love.

The greatest profit you make in business is not money, but happiness. The greatest riches you give in life are not possessions, but love. The greatest treasures you acquire in life are not jewels, but joy.

If you have money, you are affluent; if you have joy, you are wealthy; and if you have love, you are rich.

Beauty catches your eye, joy seizes your heart, and love captures your soul.

If you put all of your eggs in love’s basket, joy will hatch.

There is no gem like virtue, no wealth like happiness, no treasure like faith, and no jewel like love.

Love makes you the richest person in the world, no matter how poor you are.

The universe offers you three things that money cannot buy: joy, love, and life.

Love does these three things effectively: multiplies joy, divides trouble, subtracts grief, and adds peace.

The most valuable things in your life are always the things that money cannot buy.

If the final chapter of your life story is written by love, you are guaranteed a happy ending.

If you want to be happy, love. If you want to be happier, love some more.

The best couples share the load, divide the grief, and add to the peace, thereby multiplying joy.

If all you have is money, you are among the poorest people in the world.

It is in fact not our dream that makes us happy, but chasing that dream!

Looking on the bright side of life is better than looking on the dark side of despair.

The richest person in the cemetery is the one who left the most happy memories.

If you want to lead a pleasant life, be good to yourself; if you want to lead a happy life, be good to others; and if you want to lead an exceptional life, be good to everyone.

Charity is fortune, avarice is poverty, peace is treasure, and happiness is wealth.

When bitter, say little; when angry, say nothing; when happy, say much; when joyful, say all.

If you look to money for happiness, you will be disappointed; to power, you will be disillusioned; to honor, you will be dissatisfied; to others, you will be disenchanted; but if you look to God, you will be fulfilled.

If the world gives you a thousand reasons to cry, find a thousand and one reasons to smile.

Worry makes you weaker, regret makes you sadder, hate makes you angrier, but hope makes you stronger, and love makes you happier.

No one can steal your happiness unless you give them the key to your heart’s safe.

If your greatest wish is to be happy, you are clever; if it is to make others happy, you are virtuous; but if it is to make yourself and others happy, you are wise.

Be merry, because it confuses your enemies; happy, because it annoys them; cheerful, because it angers them; and joyful, because it kills them.

Your clock cannot buy you more time, your bed cannot get you more sleep, your titles cannot acquire you more influence, your fame cannot gain you more honor, and your money cannot earn you more happiness.

When life’s journey is wearisome, put on hope’s shoes.

True riches belong to those who shun false ones.

If you have a house but no home, you are homeless; knowledge but no wisdom, you are imprudent; acquaintances but no friends, you are lonely; money but no happiness, you are poor; and life but no joy, you are lifeless.

Be happy when you work, thankful when you earn, cautious when you spend, shrewd when you save, and charitable when you give.

The less you want, the happier you are; the happier you are, the less you want.

To be happy: the simple pursue pleasure, the common pursue riches, the uncommon pursue knowledge, and the exceptional pursue wisdom.

Happy is he who marries the woman he wants, happier is he who marries the woman he needs, and happiest is he who marries the woman he wants and needs.

Make your wife happier, children wiser, yourself kinder, and you will make your life better.

If you have nothing but joy in this life, you are still rich.

If you want to double your happiness, pour it into someone else.

If they ask you how rich you are, tell them to look inside your heart.

The happiest people in the world are those who give happiness to others.

Smile, just to infuriate those who envy you.

Yesterday, I was clever, I wanted to be rich. Today, I am wise, I want to be happy.

Rainbows are birthed in storms, not in sunshine.

Count your smiles, not your frowns.

The life you wish you had will come by working like you never have.

Dancing in the rain is better than despairing in the storm.

Daisies that bring you joy are better than roses that bring you sorrow.

Any fool can marry, but only the wise live happily ever after.

Love that brings you sorrow is better than hate that brings you joy.

The world surrenders to an enlightened mind.The stars surrender to a joyful heart. The universe surrenders to a loving soul.

Each time a star twinkles, God is winking at the universe.

Our highest deeds come from helping the lowest people.

A lifetime of memories does not provide empirical proof of the value of living. No one memory has a quantifiable value to anyone expect the holder of the memory. Parenting in large part consists of creating positive memories for children. An accumulation of a lifetime of memories does create a musical score that we can assess from an artistic if not scientific perspective. Each happy memory generates a beat of minor joy that when strung together form the musical notes demarking a person’s prosodic inner tune.

Your first purpose is to find a purpose for yourself. And your second purpose must not immediately be trying to reach that purpose you found but to investigate thoroughly whether that purpose is really necessary for yourself or whether it is worth at all to struggle for it! Because millions are fighting for a purpose which will in no way make them happy at the end!

You don’t have to wait for a storm to pass to paint your own rainbow.

Count your summers, not your winters.

If money could buy happiness, the rich would not drown their sorrows in expensive wine.

Happiness does not come from having much, but from being content, even when you have little.

Happiness has only one colour: The Bright! The bright of red, the bright of green, the bright of any colour! Happiness is bright! It shines, it sparkles, it glints!

You will meet happiness on your way if you just stop looking for happiness desperately! Live your life without looking for anything!

There are many sources of happiness. Doing goodness is one of them and one of the best!

Tears of joy are lighter than smiles of sorrow.
