Remember, nobody who is actually happy has to stand in front of a mirror and tell himself that he’s happy.

Happiness does not come from consumption of things.

If you are satisfied with who you are, you don't need to prove your worth to anyone else.

This fixation on the positive- on what's better, what's superior- only serves to remind us over and over again of what we are not, of what we lack, of what we should have been but failed to be. After all, no truly happy person feels the need to stand in front of a mirror and recite that she's happy. She just is.

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

A person who is fundamentally honest doesn't need a code of ethics. The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount are all the ethical code anybody needs.

You don’t have to have a reason to feel good — you’re alive; you can feel good for no reason at all!

You are a person worthy of love. You don’t have to do anything to prove that.

... but whether someone was married or not was no measure of their happiness

You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!

Happiness is not found in self contemplation; it is perceived only when it is reflected from another.

Happiness is for those who don't really need it. So I can live without happiness.

People don't know when they are happy. They're never so unhappy as they think they are.

Everyone you meet always asks if you have a career, are married, or own a house as if life was some kind of grocery list. But no one ever asks you if you are happy.
