Motivational Quotes
Happiness
Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.
Best Quotes about Happiness
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Addison, Joseph
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
Sometimes it's hard to avoid the happiness of others.
David Assael
Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.
Carnegie, Dale
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
The biggest lie on the planet: When I get what I want, I will be happy.
Happiness requires problems
Hollingworth, H. L.
It's not a question of happiness, it's a requirement. Consider the alternative.
Horton, Doug
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
Downs, Hugh
Very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.
Jean Jacques Rousseau
When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
Call no man unhappy until he is married.
Socrates
I can sympathize with people's pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Huxley, Aldous
What happiness is there which is not purchased with more or less of pain?
Oliphant, Margaret
Happiness is like manna; it is to be gathered in grains, and enjoyed every day. It will not keep; it cannot be accumulated; nor have we got to go out of ourselves or into remote places to gather it, since it has rained down from a Heaven, at our very door
Edwards, Tryon
Happiness is an agreeable sensation, arising from contemplating the misery of others.
Bierce, Ambrose
A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Lincoln, Abraham
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.
Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.
Stossel, John
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
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Wilde, Oscar
A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a person and life they lead.
Camus, Albert
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
Happiness is good for the body but sorrow strengthens the spirit.
If you want to be happy for a year, plant a garden; If you want to be happy for life, plant a tree.
Proverb, English
Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.
Rooney, Andy
We all want to be happy, and we're all going to die. You might say those are the only two unchallengeably true facts that apply to every human being on this planet.
Boyd, William
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.
Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
Jonathan Haidt
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
True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The great blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.
Seneca
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
Meltzer, Bernard
Happiness seems made to be shared.
Corneille, Pierre
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
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
Sweetland, Ben
Happiness arises in a state of peace, not of tumult.
Ann Radcliffe
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.
Sondreal, Palmer
The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Schweitzer, Albert
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
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
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
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
James Oppenheim
Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.
Marden, Orison Swett
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
What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?
Smith, Adam
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
