Tsoknyi Rinpoche

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

The truth is that all of us can attain the greatest success and happiness possible in this life whenever we use our native capacities to its greatest extent.

Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.

Man is the artificer of his own happiness.

They’ve got no idea what happiness is, they don’t know that without this love there is no happiness or unhappiness for us–there is no life.

You have no more right to consume happiness without producing it, than you do to consume wealth without producing it.

Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

I’m always smiling and happy.

Anybody who thinks money will make you happy, hasn’t got money.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

To fill the hour – that is happiness.

Action may not bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.

But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I’m alive, I must live and be happy.
