A man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being; and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer of the man with his surroundings.

Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude.

There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.

The groundwork of all happiness is health.

A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

All true happiness, pure joy, sweet bounties, and untroubled pleasure lie in knowledge of God and love of God; they cannot exist without them.

The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.

What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.

When you're happy you find pure joy in your life. There are no regrets in this state of happiness - and that's a goal worth striving for in all areas of your life.

The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here and there.

Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.

Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little.

Happiness comes from the full understanding of your own being.

The secret of happiness is to find a congenial monotony.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Experience proves that in this life peace and satisfaction are had, not by the listless but by those who are fervent in God's service. And rightly so. For in their effort to overcome themselves and to rid themselves of self-love, they rid themselves of the roots of all passion and unrest.

Contentment does not come from achievement. It comes from a relationship with the Lord.

Happiness, to some, elation; Is, to others, mere stagnation.

Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It's the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Happiness is the natural flower of duty.

Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.

True success, true happiness lies in freedom and fulfillment.

Genuine happiness can only be achieved when we transform our way of life from the unthinking pursuit of pleasure to one committed to enriching our inner lives, when we focus on 'being more' rather than simply having more.

Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness.

Happiness is the cessation of suffering.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

Life finds its purpose and fulfillment in the expansion of happiness.

You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.

That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great.

Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.

Happiness for me is totally just being at peace knowing that, everything I'm doing, God is pleased with that. It's complete peace for me.

True happiness involves the full use of one's power and talents.

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.

Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing - where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.

This happiness consisted of nothing else but the harmony of the few things around me with my own existence, a feeling of contentment and well-being that needed no changes and no intensification.

True happiness... is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.

True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.

Happiness, contentment, the health and growth of the soul, depend, as men have proved over and over again, upon some simple issue, some single turning of the soul.

True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.

In my opinion happiness is nothing but satisfaction - satisfaction through work, thoughts and accomplishing our mission and vision.

Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know.
