Keeping these things in mind...

Randomly selected from the book "1325 Buddhist Ways to Be Happy" by Barbara Ann Kipfer:

Begin right now by engaging love and compassion however you can - not tomorrow, but today.

It is rare that happiness alights just so on the desire that called for it. Marcel Proust

You can feel happy coming back to the breath. Don't worry that you are going to have to do it a thousand times. That is why this is called practice.

If we wish to protect ourselves from suffering, either we can try to change the whole world - or we can change our mind. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Recognize that all created things pass and what matters is not how much we collect or what we make or do, but how well we live this short dance and how well we learn to love.
