If we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
