The happiness and the joy that I see in the eyes of the children. They saved my life so I want to, give it back. I'm not joking.

The Happiest people DO NOT necessarily have the BEST THINGS. They simply APPRECIATE the things they have.

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.

Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.

Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.

People miss happiness by chasing after false values and repressing the feelings that make life valuable and beautiful. When you get up in the morning feeling fine your experience during just those few minutes or hours when you are reacting happily to life is an end in itself.
