Happiness depends more upon the internal frame of a person's own mind than on the externals in the world.

Happiness is determined more by one's state of mind than by external events.

A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.

Dalai Lama

DisciplinedMindHappinessSuffering

Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts happiness follows him like his never-departing shadow.

Buddha

MindPrecedesMentalStates...+4

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Buddha

EnjoyGoodHealthTrue...+10

Material progress and a higher standard of living bring us greater comfort and health, but do not lead to a transformation of the mind, which is the only thing capable of providing lasting peace. Profound happiness, unlike fleeting pleasures, is spiritual in nature. It depends on the happiness of others and it is based on love and affection.
