Happiness

The feet is measured by inches.

Roads are measured by miles.

But the happiness we gain in life is measured by smiles.

Happiness is more of a habit than a sought goal;

More of an attitude than altitude.

It is a companion of cheerfulness, not a creation of circumstance.

Happiness is like a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a little drop on yourself.

Happiness is what overtakes us when we forget ourselves, when we learn to open our eyes in optimism and close the door in the face of defeat.

We win happiness when we lose ourselves in service to others.

It is neither wealth nor splendor, but tranquility and occupation which gives happiness
