Happiness is rarely absent it is we that know not of its presence.

Many a happiness in life, as many a disaster, can be due to chance, but the peace within us can never be governed by chance.

Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness.

An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it.

We possess only the happiness we are able to understand.
