“Tis not possessions that bring happiness.”

“Material possessions in themselves are good. We would not survive for long without money, clothing, shelter and food. Yet if we refuse to share what we have with the hungry and the poor, we make of our possessions a false god. How many voices in our materialist society tell us that happiness is to be found by acquiring as many possessions and luxuries as we can! But this is to make possessions into a false god. Instead of bringing life, they bring death.”

“Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.”

“Of all thy blessings reckon wealth the least,
For 'tis the least secure of our possessions.”

“It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.”

“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.”

“Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing.”

“Action may not always bring happiness but there is no happiness without action.”

“Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.”

“Happiness is the perpetual possession of being well deceived.”
