With pleasure I write my name in your Album. Ere long some younger man will be more happy to confer his name upon you. Don't allow it, Mary, until fully assured that he is worthy of the happiness.

Don't give yourself to negligence. Don't devote yourself to sensual pleasure. Vigilant and absorbed in meditation, one attains abundant happiness.

Whatever living beings there may be-feeble or strong, long, stout or of medium size, short, small, large, those seen or those unseen, those dwelling far or near, those who are born as well as those yet to be born-may all beings have happy minds.

Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.

To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real.

I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.
