Aristotle

Sweetland, Ben

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

Josh Billings

When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman

Happiness is not a reward -- it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment -- it is a result.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

7.
I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure.
Lawana Blackwell

8.
Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the manner we appreciate the one and the other, and the choice we make pursuant to our individual organization.
Sade, Marquis De

9.
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

10.
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

13.
No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
Angelis, Barbara De

14.
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

15.
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

16.
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

17.
The greatest joy of life is to love and be loved.
Clyde, R.D.

18.
Work and live to serve others, to leave the world a little better than you found it and garner for yourself as much peace of mind as you can. This is happiness.
Sarnoff, David

19.
Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.

20.
Happiness is good for the body but sorrow strengthens the spirit.

21.
The secret of happiness and prosperity in this world, as in the world to come, lies in thinking of the welfare of others first, and not taking one's self too seriously.
Kindleberger, J.

22.
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us least live so as to deserve it.
Immanuel Hermann Fichte

23.
Farms and in castles, in homes, studies, and cloisters -- where sensible people manage to live relatively lusty and decent lives, as moral as they must be, as free as they may be, and as masterly as they can be. If we only knew it, this elusive arrangement is happiness.
Erikson, Erik H.

24.
For who is pleased with himself.
Johnson, Samuel

25.
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Wilde, Oscar

26.
It's not a question of happiness, it's a requirement. Consider the alternative.
Horton, Doug

Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good things toward you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as others. Do not strain after the needs of life. It is sufficient to be quietly alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more naturally and effortlessly. Life is here to Enjoy!
Yogi, Maharishi Mahesh

28.
The world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected, and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an additional weight of calumny will be super added.
Johnson, Samuel

29.
The happy think a lifetime short, but to the unhappy one night can be an eternity.
Lucian

30.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

31.
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
Hoffer, Eric

32.
Happiness... is not a destination: it is a manner of traveling. Happiness is not an end in itself. It is a by-product of working, playing, loving and living.
Ginott, Haim

33.
The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.
Heywood, John

34.
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

35.
Remember that it is nothing to do your duty, that is demanded of you and is no more meritorious than to wash your hands when they are dirty; the only thing that counts is the love of duty; when love and duty are one, then grace is in you and you will enjoy a happiness which passes all understanding.
W. Somerset Maugham

Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.
