If someday they say of me that in my work I have contributed something to the welfare and happiness of my fellow man I shall be satisfied.

My parents- they've been my biggest influences and supporters since day one. They teach me every day that happiness comes from within and not from something outside of your heart.

It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first. The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose aiming at something outside self.

That is happiness to be dissolved into something complete and great.

Getting married for me was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release that we have something more important than our separate selves and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.

I try to stress to my children that buying something never leads to true happiness.

Unhappiness is something we are never taught about we are taught to expect happiness but never a Plan B to use to use when the happiness doesn't arrive.

To desire and strive to be of some service to the world to aim at doing something which shall really increase the happiness and welfare and virtue of mankind - this is a choice which is possible for all of us and surely it is a good haven to sail for.

Although the skills aren't hard to learn finding the happiness and finding the satisfaction and finding fulfillment in continuously serving somebody else something good to eat is what makes a really good restaurant.

Happiness is within. It has nothing to do with how much applause you get or how many people praise you. Happiness comes when you believe that you have done something truly meaningful.

The secret of happiness is something to do.

I have discovered the secret of happiness - it is work either with the hands or the head. The moment I have something to do the draughts are open and my chimney draws and I am happy.

I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.

Happiness is different from pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing.

Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him and love something to be cherished by him forever.

When you're passionate about something you want it to be all it can be. But in the endgame of life I fundamentally believe the key to happiness is letting go of that idea of perfection.

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

Politicians also have no leisure because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself power and glory or happiness.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do something to love and something to hope for.

To attain happiness in another world we need only to believe something while to secure it in this world we must do something.

Always leave something to wish for otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.

There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat Bob Marley got heat Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right.
