Best Quotes about Happiness
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.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Rohn, Jim
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
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
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Publilius Syrus
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
It's not a question of happiness, it's a requirement. Consider the alternative.
Horton, Doug
There is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness.
Proverb, Spanish
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Goodman, Roy
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Bergson, Henri L.
True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.
Addison, Joseph
We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.
Baughan, R.J.
Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!
Bradley, Amanda
To be happy is not the purpose of our being rather it is to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.
A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
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
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
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowper
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
Yeats, William Butler
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
Schachtel, Rabbi H.
Happiness consists in activity -- it is a running stream, not a stagnant pool.
Mason, John L.
All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!
Bob Newhart
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
Saroyan, William
Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition.
Rubinstein, Arthur
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
The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.
Jeans, Sir James
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
To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin.
Byron, Lord
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Like swimming, riding, writing, or playing golf, happiness can be learned.
Sokoloff, Boris
It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; The wise grows it under his feet.
Oppenheimer, Julius Robert
No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.
Solon
Most of us experience happiness when we are enjoying life and feeling free, enjoying the process and products of our creative and intellectual processes, enjoying the ecstasy of transcendent oneness with the universe.
Muriel, James
The smallest annoyances, disturb us the most.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.
Jackson, Holbrook
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman
I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
Oprah Winfrey
The biggest lie on the planet: When I get what I want, I will be happy.
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph
Personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a checklist of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications are not your life.
J.K. Rowling
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
James Oppenheim
