• Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted. ~ Deepak Chopra
• I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace. ~ Dalai Lama
• If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~ Dalai Lama 
• Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little. ~ Marguerite Gardiner 
• Happiness for a reason is a form of misery because the reason can be taken away from you at any time. To be happy for no reason is the happiness you want to experience. ~ Vedanta
• Do everything with so much love in your heart that you would never want to do it any other way. ~ Yogi Desai 
• Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. ~ Mahatma Gandhi 
• Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. ~ John Lennon
• Happiness is not a situation to be longed for, or a convergence of lucky happenstance. Through the power of our own minds, we can help ourselves. ~ Wayne Coyne
• Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting “Holy shit, what a ride!” ~ Mavis Leyrer 
• If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you did n’t ask me, I’d still have to say it. ~ George F. Burns 
• I can’t give you a surefire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time. ~ Herbert Bayard Swope
• There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will. ~ Epitectus
