Happiness is What We Make It

From the Book of Proverbs in The Holy Bible

13 (Happiness) is anyone who becomes wise - who comes to have understanding. (Proverbs 3:13)

17 Wisdom can make your life pleasant and lead you safely through it. 18 Those who become wise (have happiness); wisdom will give them life. (Proverbs 3:17 - 18)

20. He who handles a matter wisely shall find good, and whoever trusts in the LORD (Proverbs 16:20)

10 Wise children make their fathers proud of them; foolish ones bring their mothers grief. (10:1)

28 The hope of the righteous is joy, but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing. (10:28)

20. Deceit is in the heart of those who imagine evil, but to counselors of peace there is joy. (12:20)

25 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, but a good word makes it glad. (12:25)

10 The heart knows its own bitterness, and a stranger does not share its joy. (14:10)

13 Even in laughter the heart may be in pain, and the end of joy may be grief. (14:13)

13 A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, but when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken. (15:13)

15 All the days of the oppressed are miserable, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast. (15:15)
