How To Be Happy?

Never fear spoiling children by making them too happy. Happiness is the atmosphere in which all good affections grow. - Thomas Bray

"If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator. He will not be striving for it as a goal in itself. He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living life 24 crowded hours of the day." - W. Beran Wolfe

The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. - Allan K. Chalmers

If you want others to be happy, practise compassion. If you want to be happy, practise compassion. - Dalai Lama
