Happy is harder than money. Anyone who thinks money will make them happy, doesn’t have money.

Happiness is not a goal…it’s a by-product of a life well lived.

Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s self to do without it.

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

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.

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

Man is the artificer of his own happiness.

Happiness ain’t a thing in itself -it’s only a contrast with something that ain’t pleasant. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain’t happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.

Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers, and are famous preservers of good looks.

It isn’t necessary to be rich and famous to be happy, it’s only necessary to be rich.

The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.

The unhappiest man on earth is the one who has nothing to do.

I’ve found happiness in my work, but not in my private life. I had to take from my private life to make my public life successful. I had to make a lot of sacrifices. I was happy in Cardiff. I had a great time. Every Thursday there was a factory club; darts, dancing. I was happy until success entered my life, and then it was all downhill. Success spoilt me. It took away my happiness. My success became a barrier with my family. They couldn’t relate to me, and I couldn’t relate to them.

It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.

A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don’t allow the happy moment, because they’re so busy trying to get a happy life.
