No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens.

It is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while.

Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow.
