Happiness, True Happiness, Is an Inner Quality.

Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give - pleasure, possessions, power - but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy.

Dada Vaswani

This is for all the kids out there with giant bags of candy: happiness is a state of mind and not how much candy you have.
