Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
There are two kinds of happiness - the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that results from the thorough transformation and development of the mind. We can see in our own lives that the latter form of happiness is superior because when our mental state is calm and happy, we can easily put up with minor pains and physical discomforts. On the other hand, when our mind is restless and upset, the most comfortable physical facilities do not make us happy.

A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world.
A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.
Who you are and what you know when you are born is everything that you need to know to thrive. You are born with a sense of self and a sense of wanting self to feel good and the mechanisms to bring it about.
Happiness belongs to the self sufficient.

Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly.
Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.
The simple recognition that everyone else wants to be happy and not to suffer, just as I do, serves as a constant reminder against selfishness and partiality. It reminds us there is little to be gained from being kind and generous while hoping to win something in return. Actions motivated by a desire to earn a good name for ourselves are still selfish, even if they appear to be acts of kindness.
