“Happy is the soul that has a friend. Happier is the soul that trusts in the truth of the heart of a friend. Happiest is the soul that knows the solemnity of friendship and honours its laws.”

“Happiness does not completely depend on comforts or opulence. Even a pauper can be happier than a prince.”

“80% of man's happiness is based on love - love for others, love for self, love for family, love for friends, love for work, love for nature, and love for being loved.”

“Always be happy, you never know how happy you can make another by just being happy.”

“The peak of happiness is attained when a person has accepted to be what he is.”

“Like love, like talent, like any other virtue, like anything else in this life, happiness needs to be nurtured - this is the truth of the whole matter.”

“While I was yearning for happiness I became happy.”
