we sometimes forget the influence of action upon thought. ... Smile, whistle, sing, play the part you want to be until you become the part you play.
happiness is a duty, not only because of its effect upon us but because of its influence upon others.
When one has a famishing thirst for happiness, one is apt to gulp down diversions wherever they are offered.
any pursuit of happiness contrary to the common good is doomed to failure.
even though disease and sorrow are all about us, health and happiness are the normal state of man.
It seems a strange fact that it is almost more important for us to be happy ourselves than to try to make other people happy. By being happy we confer untold benefits upon our fellow men.
