"Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness"

"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"

"Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling"

"Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action"

"Happiness is where we find it, but rarely where we seek it"

"Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty"

"Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre"

"Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances"

"Happiness does not consist in pastimes and amusements but in virtuous activities"

"Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory"

"Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so"
