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.
Lao Tan said, “I was letting my mind wander in the beginning of things.”
“What does this mean?” asked Confucius. Lao Tan said, “It means to attain Perfect Beauty and wander in Perfect Happiness. He who attains Perfect Beauty and wanders in Perfect Happiness may be called the Perfect Man.”
Let us live happily, we who have no impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
-Steven Kloves

Money won't buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a huge research staff to study the problem.
-William E. "Bill" Vaughan
Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.
-Edward G. Bulwer Lytton
He who does not get fun and enjoyment out of every day... needs to reorganize his life.
-George M. Adams
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.
-Gerard Way
