Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.

Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity.

Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.

Always leave something to wish for otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.

It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.
