With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
Strength is happiness. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness.
Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy people produce. Bored people consume.
-Stephen Richards
Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.
You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes.
-Lauren Oliver

Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.
-Aristotle
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
-George Washington
If you can have everything at fifty that you wanted when you were fifteen, you're happy.
-Alfred Bester
