False happiness is like false money; it passes for a long time as well as the true, and serves some ordinary occasions; but when it is brought to the touch, we find the lightness and alloy, and feel the loss. |
For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair. |

Dalai Lama (1935-) |
Give a man love, and he will be happy for a time. Teach a man how to love, and he will have joy through all eternity. |
Great men have not been concerned with fame. The joy of achievement that comes from finding something new in the universe is by far their greatest joy. |

Happiness belongs to the self-sufficient |
Happiness can be achieved once we know all we can and accept all we can't. |
Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually |
