Best Quotes about Happiness
Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.
Bono, Edward De
Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.
Baruch Spinoza
The best advice on the art of being happy is about as easy to follow as advice to be well when one is sick.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie
The Greeks said grandly in their tragic phrase, Let no one be called happy till his death; to which I would add, Let no one, till his death be called unhappy.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Sir, that all who are happy, are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness.
Johnson, Samuel
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
It is kind of happiness to know to what extent we may be unhappy.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Jung, Carl
And isn't that, at it's core, what the princess fantasy is about for all of us? "Princess" is how we tell little girls that they are special, precious. "Princess" is the wish that we could protect them from pain, that they would never know sorrow, that they will live happily ever after ensconces in lace and innocence.
Peggy Orenstein
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
All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.
Boone, Daniel
In order to be truly happy, you must live along with, and you must stand for something larger than yourself.
Oprah Winfrey
Happiness is not a possession to be prized. It is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Maurier, Daphne Du
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
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.
Camus, Albert
If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a month -- get married. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else.
Proverb, Chinese
My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.
Ketchel, Holly
If you optimize everything, you will always be unhappy.
Knuth, Don
A good way I know to find happiness, is to not bore a hole to fit the plug.
Billings, Josh
Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly.
Russell, Bertrand
Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
Roy M. Goodman
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. which give happiness. Thomas Jefferson We never enjoy perfect happiness; our most fortunate successes are mingled with sadness; some anxieties always perplex the reality of our satisfaction.
James, William
Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.
Alcott, Louisa May
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
Chambers, Oswald
The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.
The happier the moment the shorter.
Pliny The Elder
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
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
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
Oprah Winfrey
If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.
Epicurus
What happiness is there which is not purchased with more or less of pain?
Oliphant, Margaret
All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!
Bob Newhart
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph
But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint. Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.
Carlyle, Thomas
Happiness requires problems
Hollingworth, H. L.
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
Mill, John Stuart
The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is love, laughter, and work.
Hubbard, Elbert
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
If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing Double Dahlias in his garden.
Wolfe, W, Beran
Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.
Bennett, Arnold
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
In order for people to be happy, sometimes they have to take risks. It's true these risks can put them in danger of being hurt.
Meg Cabot
Call no man unhappy until he is married.
Socrates
Happiness is the longing for repetition.
Kundera, Milan
Sometimes it's hard to avoid the happiness of others.
David Assael
Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.
Jackson, Holbrook
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Russell, Bertrand
