Happiness comes from righteous living and the development of a noble character. You can observe this by noticing that people who are truly happy are honest, unselfish, kind, responsible and have a high moral standards. On the other hand, unhappy people are invariably selfish, lazy, irresponsible and lacking of self discipline. And people who are miserable tend to be immoral, dishonest, greedy, cruel, or in other ways dark in character. . Helen B. Andelin
About This Quote

Happiness comes from righteous living and the development of a noble character. The idea of being happy comes from the fact that you are being good. That is, you are being kind, honest, unselfish, responsible etc. The way to be happy though is to develop the ability to be good.

This is not something that happens automatically, but something that needs to be developed consciously. The more you think about having a good character, the happier you will be. The more you practice being good, the happier you will be.
