Happiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes.

Human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself.

Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.

The highest happiness is when one reaches the stage of liberation, at which there is no more suffering.

From a Buddhist point of view, the actual experience of death is very important. Although how or where we will be reborn is generally dependent on karmic forces, our state of mind at the time of death can influence the quality of our next rebirth. So at the moment of death, in spite of the great variety of karmas we have accumulated, if we make a special effort to generate a virtuous state of mind, we may strengthen and activate a virtuous karma, and so bring about a happy rebirth.

Happiness doesn't always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.

If we adopt a self-centered approach to life, by which we attempt to use others for our own self interest, we might be able to gain temporary benefits, but in the long run we will not succeed in achieving even our personal happiness, and hope for the next life is out of the question.
