There is no end to craving. Hence, contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Stay content.
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.
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
-Helen Keller
The difference between love and happiness is that those who talk about love tend to be in love, but those who talk about happiness tend to be not happy.

If you think happiness is a rare bird, you won't see much of it.
-Marty Rubin
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
If your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you're always going to be disappointed.
