Best Quotes about Happiness
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Addison, Joseph
Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake.
Walters, J. Donald
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham
Happiness is not a state to arrive at, rather, a manner of traveling.
Johnson, Samuel
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.
Young, Margaret
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 people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition.
Rubinstein, Arthur
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
Robertson Davies
To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.
Russell, Bertrand
Happy were men if they but understood There is no safety but in doing good
Fountain., John
Happiness ain't a thing in itself --it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain't happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.
Twain, Mark
Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.
Bennett, William John
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.
Sondreal, Palmer
Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember.
Oscar Levant
Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.
Stossel, John
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
Storm Jameson
Suspicion of happiness is in our blood.
Lucas, E. V.
Happiness is not a possession to be prized. It is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Maurier, Daphne Du
It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
Oprah Winfrey
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.
Lee, Bruce
A person is never happy till their vague strivings has itself marked out its proper limitations.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Where one is wise two are happy.
Proverb
What makes people happy is activity; changing evil itself into good by power, working in a God like manner.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Richter, Jean Paul
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin
Very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.
Strindberg, J. August
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
That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.
Waitley, Denis
Happiness is the longing for repetition.
Kundera, Milan
Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.
Josh Billings
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
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
Chambers, Oswald
A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier
Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize.
Meredith, Owen
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
Koenig, Frederick
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means -- either may do -- the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
Franklin, Benjamin
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Publilius Syrus
Depend not on another, but lean instead on thyself...True happiness is born of self-reliance.
The laws of Manu
Never believe straight off in a man's unhappiness. Ask him if he can still sleep. If the answer's yes, all's well. That is enough.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand
Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.
Prazlin, Duchess
Many people have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Keller, Helen
