The greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness.

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.

Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.

True happiness is… to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

In order to have great happiness you have to have great pain and unhappiness – otherwise how would you know when you’re happy?

It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you’re being miserable.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
