If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.

Best Quotes about Happiness
The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
Prevert, Jacques
To describe happiness is to diminish it.
Stendhal, Henri B.
Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.
Jefferson, Thomas
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Richter, Jean Paul
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle
Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower-Author Unknown People need your love the most when they appear to deserve it the least.
Harrigan, John
If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.
Maslow, Abraham H.
Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of happiness.
Lao-tzu
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham
Where one is wise two are happy.
Proverb
If you optimize everything, you will always be unhappy.
Knuth, Don
The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be happy is not included in the plan of Creation.
Freud, Sigmund
Happiness is an agreeable sensation, arising from contemplating the misery of others.
Bierce, Ambrose
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; The wise grows it under his feet.
Oppenheimer, Julius Robert
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
Muggeridge, Malcolm
Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
Ingersoll, Robert Green
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Russell, Bertrand
Depend not on another, but lean instead on thyself...True happiness is born of self-reliance.
The laws of Manu
Happiness is a sort of action.
Aristotle
Happiness lies in being privileged to work hard for long hours in doing whatever you think is worth doing. One man may find happiness in supporting a wife and children. Another may find it in robbing banks. Still another may labor mightily for years in pursuing pure research with no discernible result. Note the individual and subjective nature of each case. No two are alike and there is no reason to expect them to be. Each man or woman must find for himself or herself that occupation in which hard work and long hours make him or her happy. Contrariwise, if you are looking for shorter hours and longer vacations and early retirement, you are in the wrong job. Perhaps you need to take up bank robbing. Or geeking in a sideshow. Or even politics.
Heinlein, Robert
Call no man unhappy until he is married.
Socrates
Human happiness seems to consist in three ingredients; action, pleasure and indolence. And though these ingredients ought to be mixed in different proportions, according to the disposition of the person, yet no one ingredient can be entirely wanting without destroying in some measure the relish of the whole composition. composition.
Hume, David
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowper
Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.
Christopher Morley
All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.
La Bruyere, Jean De
There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
Dyer, Wayne
Suspicion of happiness is in our blood.
Lucas, E. V.
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
Nash, Ogden
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
Yeats, William Butler
I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy!
Louise Bogan
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin
Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
Jonathan Haidt
Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.
Baruch Spinoza
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
The glow of satisfaction which follows the consciousness of doing our level best never comes to a human being from any other experience.
Marden, Orison Swett
We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found; and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.
Johnson, Samuel
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
Sweetland, Ben
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.
Happiness is activity.
Aristotle
The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston
Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be taken in small doses.
Baker, Russell (Wayne)
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Bergson, Henri L.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Aurelius, Marcus
Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor.
Benjamin Franklin
The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
Stein, Ben
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
