Best Quotes about Happiness
The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a new star.
Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Chuang Tzu
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Bergson, Henri L.
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Publilius Syrus
To buy happiness is to sell soul.
Horton, Doug
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus
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.
Happiness is a positive cash flow.
Adler, Fred
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be happy is not included in the plan of Creation.
Freud, Sigmund
Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.
Prazlin, Duchess
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.
Sondreal, Palmer
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Russell, Bertrand
The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about, is happiness enough to get their work done.
Carlyle, Thomas
The smallest annoyances, disturb us the most.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Dumas, Alexandre
The secret of happiness is something to do.
Burroughs, John
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us so live as to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.
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
It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's only necessary to be rich.
Alda, Alan
Shall I give you my recipe for happiness? I find everything useful and nothing indispensable. I find everything wonderful and nothing miraculous. I reverence the body. I avoid first causes like the plague.
Douglas, Norman
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin
Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly.
Russell, Bertrand
There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.
Brande, Dorothea
Happiness arises in a state of peace, not of tumult.
Ann Radcliffe
Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.
Dewey, John
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
Chambers, Oswald
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle
Happiness is activity.
Aristotle
Happiness is experienced when your life gives you what you are willing to accept.
Keyes Jr., Ken
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
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
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
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
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
Roy M. Goodman
To describe happiness is to diminish it.
Stendhal, Henri B.
The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is love, laughter, and work.
Hubbard, Elbert
After what we can say you can be sure the happy heart will make the happy day.
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
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.
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
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
It is kind of happiness to know to what extent we may be unhappy.
While we pursue happiness, we flee from contentment.
Proverb, Hasidic
A mind always employed is always happy. This is the true secret, the grand recipe, for felicity.
Jefferson, Thomas
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne
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 a matter of one's most ordinary everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self. To be damned is for one's ordinary everyday mode of consciousness to be unremitting agonizing preoccupation with self.
Murdoch, Iris
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)
