Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.
Landor, Walter Savage

2.
When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things -- not the great occasions -- that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.
Hope, Bob

3.
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Russell, Bertrand

4.
Joy comes from using your potential.
Schultz, Will

5.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi

6.
If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.
Epicurus

7.
Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
Franklin, Benjamin

8.
Happiness is the act of being tough with ourselves and tender with others.

9.
Not what you have, but what you see; Not what you see, but what you choose; Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what you dream, but what you do; Not what you take, but what you give; Not as you pray, but as you live. These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness.

10.
This is the best kind of voyeurism, hearing joy from your neighbors.
Chuck Sigars

11.
I'm fulfilled in what I do... I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes -- the finer things of life -- would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.
King, Coretta Scott

12.
Happy were men if they but understood There is no safety but in doing good
Fountain., John

13.
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

14.
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

15.
To buy happiness is to sell soul.
Horton, Doug

16.
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us least live so as to deserve it.
Immanuel Hermann Fichte

17.
Not only is there a right to be happy, there is a duty to be happy. So much sadness exists in the world that we are all under obligation to contribute as much joy as lies within our powers.
Bonnell, John S.

18.
Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.
Shaw, George Bernard

19.
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

20.
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.

21.
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

22.
Happiness is not so much in having or sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Macewan, Norman

23.
If you ever find happiness by hunting for it, you will find it as the old woman did her lost spectacles. Safe on her own nose all the time.
Billings, Josh

24.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln

25.
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

26.
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be happy is not included in the plan of Creation.
Freud, Sigmund

27.
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

28.
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel

29.
I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
Oprah Winfrey

30.
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus

31.
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

32.
The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.
Sondreal, Palmer

34.
Happiness is not a brilliant climax to years of grim struggle and anxiety. It is a long succession of little decisions simply to be happy in the moment.
Walters, J. Donald

35.
Happiness is like a sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often as the rain of spring.
Proverb, Chinese

36.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

37.
It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.
Bentham, Jeremy

38.
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
Chambers, Oswald

39.
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor

40.
Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

41.
Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.
Jackson, Holbrook

42.
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Aurelius, Marcus

43.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.

44.
What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

45.
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

46.
Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.
Rubin, Theodore I.

47.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Dalai Lama

48.
The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a new star.
Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

49.
Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly.
Russell, Bertrand

50.
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
Chalmers, Allan K.
