Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
The foundation of success in life is good health: that is the substratum fortune; it is also the basis of happiness. A person cannot accumulate a fortune very well when he is sick.
Small daily improvements over time lead to stunning results.
Enlightenment, or true happiness, is not a transcendental state. It is a condition of broad wisdom, boundless energy, and good fortune wherein we each shape our own destiny, find fulfillment in daily activities, and come to understand our ultimate purpose in life.
Small daily - seemingly insignificant - improvements and innovations lead to staggering achievements over time.
Learning to cherish others is the best solution to our daily problems, and it is the source of all our future happiness and good fortune.
In human life there is constant change of fortune; and it is unreasonable to expect an exemption from the common fate. Life itself decays, and all things are daily changing.
Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day.
I pinch myself daily at the good fortune of my life, you know, in many ways.
I've become fascinated by the idea that it's really achievable to make two or three small improvements in a week and by the end of the year, it's 150 improvements.
I was once a fortunate man but at some point fortune abandoned me. But true good fortune is what you make for yourself. Good fortune: good character, good intentions, and good actions.
Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.
An extraordinary life is all about daily, continuous improvements in the areas that matter most.
Your life will never improve unless you start making daily improvements.
Happiness may be defined as good fortune joined to virtue, or a independence, or as a life that is both agreeable and secure.
Now the goodness that we have to consider is clearly human goodness, since the good or happiness which we set out to seek was human good and human happiness. But human goodness means in our view excellence of soul, not excellence of body.
