Motivational Quotes
Happiness
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

Best Quotes about Happiness
Happiness consists in activity -- it is a running stream, not a stagnant pool.
Mason, John L.
For who is pleased with himself.
Johnson, Samuel
The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.
Heywood, John
All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!
Bob Newhart
If frugality were established in the state, and if our expenses were laid out to meet needs rather than superfluities of life, there might be fewer wants, and even fewer pleasures, but infinitely more happiness.
Goldsmith, Oliver
The really happy man never laughs -- seldom -- though he may smile. He does not need to laugh, for laughter, like weeping is a relief of mental tension -- and the happy are not over strung.
Aveling, Prof. F. A. P.
We think a happy life consists in tranquility of mind.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Waitley, Denis
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Rohn, Jim
It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first. The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self.
Black, Hugo
Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
Santayana, George
In order to have great happiness, you have to have great pain and unhappiness-otherwise how would you know when you're happy?
Caron, Leslie
Happiness is activity.
Aristotle
The highest happiness of man is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
If you optimize everything, you will always be unhappy.
Knuth, Don
Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again -- this is the brave and happy life.
Buckrose, J.E
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
Meltzer, Bernard
Do you want my one-word secret of happiness -- It's growth -- mental, financial, you name it.
Geneen, Harold S.
If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being, you'd be a game show host.
Heatter, Gabriel
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of happiness.
Lao-tzu
Happiness must be cultivated. It is like character. It is not a thing to be safely let alone for a moment, or it will run to weeds.
Phelps, Elizabeth Stuart
I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
Oprah Winfrey
We are made happy when reason can discover no occasion for it. The memory of some past moments is more persuasive than the experience of present ones. There have been visions of such breadth and brightness that these motes were invisible in their light.
Thoreau, Henry David
The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
John Berry
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
Downs, Hugh
Be open to your happiness and sadness as they arise.
Thomas, John M.
Happiness is not a reward -- it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment -- it is a result.
Ingersoll, Robert Green
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
True happiness is the full use of your powers along lines of excellence in a life affording scope.
Kennedy, John F.
It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.
Cervantes, Miguel De
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George
Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.
Jackson, Holbrook
Happiness is a how, not a what: a talent, not an object
Hesse, Hermann
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle
I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
Sweetland, Ben
Men expect that religion should cost them no pains, that happiness should drop into their laps without any design and endeavor on their part, and that, after they have done what they please while they live, God should snatch them up to heaven when they die. But though the commandments of God be not grievous, yet it is fit to let men know that they are not thus easy.
Tillotson, John
Most of us experience happiness when we are enjoying life and feeling free, enjoying the process and products of our creative and intellectual processes, enjoying the ecstasy of transcendent oneness with the universe.
Muriel, James
If you want to be happy for a year, plant a garden; If you want to be happy for life, plant a tree.
Proverb, English
Happy were men if they but understood There is no safety but in doing good
Fountain., John
What would you call the highest happiness? Wratislaw was ask. The sense of competence, was the answer, given without hesitation.
Buchan, John
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
Feather, William
Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in stranger's gardens.
Jerrold, Douglas William
What happiness is there which is not purchased with more or less of pain?
Oliphant, Margaret
You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
Horace
Joy comes from using your potential.
Schultz, Will
The secret of happiness is something to do.
Burroughs, John
