There are realities we all share, regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes. As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment: love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others.

Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.

The secret of happiness is the determination to be happy always, rather than wait for outer circumstances to make one happy.

The greatest thing that will please God is that you maintain an attitude of unshakable joy.

Even-minded and cheerful. When things go bad, you'll find that the same kind of attitude comes to you naturally.

Happiness is like a plant: It must be watered daily with giving thoughts and actions.

The two-fold goal of all human striving is the avoidance of pain, and the fulfillment of happiness.
