Aristotle

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Education is the best provision for old age.

A friend is a second self.

To give away money is an easy matter, and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man’s power, nor an easy matter. Hence it is that such excellence is rare, praiseworthy, and noble.

What lies in our power to do, lies in our power not to do.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won’t have to haunt for happiness

Happiness isn’t a one-size-fits-all proposition. You must define what it looks like for you and then make a conscious effort to access whatever gets you to your unique definition of joy.

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.

Happiness is not a goal…it’s a by-product of a life well lived.

Happiness and unhappiness are in the heart and spirit of each one of us: If you feel unhappy, then place yourself above that and act so that your happiness does not get to be dependent on anything.

We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.

Let’s make ourselves happy

One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.

The secret of happiness? Live life in the slow lane.

What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?

Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.

Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here.

Happiness is unrepentant pleasure.

It isn’t necessary to be rich and famous to be happy, it’s only necessary to be rich.

You have no more right to consume happiness without producing it, than you do to consume wealth without producing it.
