"Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence."

"Be happy. It's one way of being wise."

"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things."

"Happiness is not the absense of problems, but the ability to deal with them."

"It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about."

Just some things to think about.
