Be happy. Talk happiness. Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours… never doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Your success and happiness lie in you… the great enduring realities are love and service… resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. Joy is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved and that nothing—sickness, failure, emotional distress, oppression, war, or even death—can take that love away.
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
The greatest happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved,
loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
