Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
Happiness is activity.
Aristotle

2.
Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel

3.
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil --or else an absolute ignorance.
Greene, Graham

4.
What happiness is there which is not purchased with more or less of pain?
Oliphant, Margaret

5.
Happiness requires problems
Hollingworth, H. L.

6.
If you can't be happy where you are, it's a cinch you can't be happy where you ain't.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

7.
Sometimes it's hard to avoid the happiness of others.
David Assael

8.
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
Nash, Ogden

9.
The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
John Berry

10.
Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize.
Meredith, Owen

11.
Happiness is not a horse, you cannot harness it.
Proverb, Russian

12.
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
Yeats, William Butler

13.
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

14.
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George

15.
The biggest lie on the planet: When I get what I want, I will be happy.

16.
The attitude of unhappiness is not only painful, it is mean and ugly. What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it may have been engendered? What is more injurious to others? What less helpful as a way out of the difficulty? It but fastens and perpetuates the trouble which occasioned it, and increases the total evil of the situation. At all costs, then, we ought to reduce the sway of that mood; we ought to scout it in ourselves and others, and never show it tolerance.
James, William

17.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Goodman, Roy

18.
Men expect that religion should cost them no pains, that happiness should drop into their laps without any design and endeavor on their part, and that, after they have done what they please while they live, God should snatch them up to heaven when they die. But though the commandments of God be not grievous, yet it is fit to let men know that they are not thus easy.
Tillotson, John

19.
The final moment of success is often no more thrilling than taking off a heavy backpack at the end of a long hike. If you went on the hike only to feel that pleasure, you are a fool. Yet people sometimes do just this. They work hard at a task and expect some special euphoria at the end. But when they achieve success and find only moderate and short-lived pleasure, they ask is that all there is? They devalue their accomplishments as a striving after wind. We can call this the progress principle: Pleasure comes more from making progress toward goals than from achieving them.
Jonathan Haidt

20.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.

21.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

22.
All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.
Boone, Daniel

23.
Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.
Baruch Spinoza

24.
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Russell, Bertrand

25.
The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.

26.
Happiness comes from... some curious adjustment to life.
Walpole, Sir Hugh

27.
It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's only necessary to be rich.
Alda, Alan

28.
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle

29.
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin

30.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi

31.
Happiness is a how, not a what: a talent, not an object
Hesse, Hermann

32.
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

33.
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman

34.
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowper

35.
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham

36.
Remember that it is nothing to do your duty, that is demanded of you and is no more meritorious than to wash your hands when they are dirty; the only thing that counts is the love of duty; when love and duty are one, then grace is in you and you will enjoy a happiness which passes all understanding.
W. Somerset Maugham

37.
Be open to your happiness and sadness as they arise.
Thomas, John M.

38.
The great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modeled, by the most profound wisdom of patriots and legislators. Even the lonely savage, who lies exposed to the inclemency of the elements and the fury of wild beasts, forgets not, for a moment, this grand object of his being.
Hume, David

39.
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

40.
My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.
Ketchel, Holly

41.
The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.

42.
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

43.
Happiness is a positive cash flow.
Adler, Fred

44.
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
Proverb, Scottish

45.
It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first. The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self.
Black, Hugo

46.
Happiness is a by product of an effort to make someone else happy.
Palmer, Gretta Brooker

47.
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

48.
The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about, is happiness enough to get their work done.
Carlyle, Thomas

49.
The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.
Al Batt

50.
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
