We begin from the recognition that all beings cherish happiness and do not want suffering.

The wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness.
-Dalai Lama

Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
-Robertson Davies
