Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
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)

2.
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

3.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Goodman, Roy

It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.
Epicurus

5.
The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion.

6.
When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

7.
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

8.
The biggest lie on the planet: When I get what I want, I will be happy.

9.
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowper

10.
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle

12.
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

13.
I can sympathize with people's pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Huxley, Aldous

14.
Not only is there a right to be happy, there is a duty to be happy. So much sadness exists in the world that we are all under obligation to contribute as much joy as lies within our powers.
Bonnell, John S.

15.
Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
Jonathan Haidt

16.
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

17.
No thoroughly occupied man was ever yet very miserable.
Landon, Letitia Elizabeth

18.
The greatest joy of life is to love and be loved.
Clyde, R.D.

19.
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
Proverb, Scottish

20.
Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
Santayana, George

21.
Where there is joy there is creation. Where there is no joy there is no creation: know the nature of joy.
Upanishads, Veda

22.
Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world.
Beckett, Samuel

23.
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us least live so as to deserve it.
Immanuel Hermann Fichte

24.
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

25.
Call no man unhappy until he is married.
Socrates

26.
To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.
Russell, Bertrand

27.
Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.
Baruch Spinoza

28.
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle

29.
Objects we ardently pursue bring little happiness when gained; most of our pleasures come from unexpected sources.
Spencer, Herbert

30.
It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.
Bentham, Jeremy

31.
We cannot be contented because we are happy, and we cannot be happy because we are contented.
Landor, Walter Savage

32.
Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.
Millman, Dan

33.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln

34.
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne

35.
The secret of happiness is something to do.
Burroughs, John

36.
There's a hope for every woe, and a balm for every pain, but the first joys of our heart come never back again!
Gilfillan, Robert

37.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Rohn, Jim

38.
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

39.
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin

40.
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis

41.
Happiness consists of three things; Someone to love, work to do, and a clear conscience.

42.
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.

C. P. Snow
