• It is a basic human need that everyone wants to
  live a happy life. For this, one has to experience
  real happiness. The so-called happiness that one
  experiences by having money, power, and
  indulging in sensual pleasures is not real
  happiness. It is very fragile, unstable and fleeting.
  For real happiness, for lasting stable happiness,
  one has to make a journey deep within oneself and
  get rid of all the unhappiness stored in the deeper
  levels of the mind. As long as there is misery at
  the depth of the mind all attempts to feel happy
  at the surface level of the mind prove futile.

• The great thing that strikes you on looking back is how quickly you have come-how very brief is the span of life on this earth. The warning that one would give, therefore, is that it is well not to fritter it away on things that don't count in the end; nor on the other hand is it good to take life too seriously as some seem to do. Make it a happy life while you have it. That is where success is possible to every man.

• Testimony is a result of choice, not circumstance. In all seasons of my life, testimony has been a conscious choice - and this choice has given everything else in my life meaning. Building a testimony is the beginning of building a happy life. Testimony grows step by step as we invest the effort to exercise faith and hope as active parts of everyday living. Prayer is a major tool to help us gain faith and hope.

• When the death of a disabled infant will lead to the birth of another infant with better prospects of a happy life, the total amount of happiness will be greater if the disabled infant is killed. The loss of happy life for the first infant is outweighed by the gain of happier life for the second. Therefore, if killing the hemophiliac infant has no adverse effect on others, it would, according to the total view, be right to kill him.

That's the only way you can be genuinely happy.
