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

Understand that there is no relationship between your inner happiness and your inner joy and the outer things that you experience and behold in the world, that it all begins with you, the world is a mirror to your own Self, when you can look at things and feel joy not in the things but in yourself.

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

I've've seen some people like this that no matter what happens they've got something cheerful to feel about it. It's not always easy, but if we do it as a deliberate sward of battle rather then thinking 'Well, I'm not really feeling that way and therefore I shouldn't say that I am'. No! Make yourself that way!

Learn to live more in the Self. Come down a little bit to eat and talk as necessary.

If you want to know me, listen to my music.

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