I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life but a way of wasting some force an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.

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.

Self-esteem is as important to our well-being as legs are to a table. It is essential for physical and mental health and for happiness.

The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.

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.

The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness not by each other's misery.

A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside thinking that his happiness lies outside him finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.

Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.

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.
