I wish everybody was as nice as I am.

Everybody wants a happy life and a peaceful mind, but we have to produce peace of mind through our own practice.

All I've got to be is be happy

If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.

If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, which is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are.

I'm unique just like everyone else

[...]But wouldn't you like to be free to be happy in some other way? In your own way, for example; not in everybody else's way.

No one may force anyone to be happy according to his manner of imagining the well-being of other men; instead, everyone may seek his happiness in the way that seems good to him as long as he does not infringe on the freedom of others to pursue a similar purpose, when such freedom may coexist with the freedom of every other man according to a possible and general law.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

There's an obligation to try every route to happiness.

May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.

Don’t seek that all that comes about should come about as you wish, but wish that everything that comes about should come about just as it does, and then you’ll have a calm and happy life.
