Dalai Lama (1935-)

Any happiness that you can give to others will result in happiness for yourself in the end. Man must realize that he cannot get anything without sharing it with humanity around him. So, you must believe that happiness of the people around you will lead to your own happiness in due course.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection.
