Motivational Quotes
Happiness
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.

Best Quotes about Happiness
Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the manner we appreciate the one and the other, and the choice we make pursuant to our individual organization.
Sade, Marquis De
False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sensible, and that happiness is always shared.
Montesquieu, Charles De
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham
The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.
Al Batt
Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again -- this is the brave and happy life.
Buckrose, J.E
The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion.
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
Ayn Rand
We are made happy when reason can discover no occasion for it. The memory of some past moments is more persuasive than the experience of present ones. There have been visions of such breadth and brightness that these motes were invisible in their light.
Thoreau, Henry David
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Goodman, Roy
IÆve decided that the key to happiness is low expectations.
Laura Moncur
To buy happiness is to sell soul.
Horton, Doug
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
He wanted to live life in such a way that if a photograph were taken at random it would be a cool photograph. Things should look right. Fun; there should be a lot of fun and no more sadness than absolutely necessary.
David Nicholls
Happiness is activity.
Aristotle
Scarcely one person in a thousand is capable of tasting the happiness of others.
Fielding, Henry
Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly often attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.
Szasz, Thomas
A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier
Like swimming, riding, writing, or playing golf, happiness can be learned.
Sokoloff, Boris
Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower-Author Unknown People need your love the most when they appear to deserve it the least.
Harrigan, John
Happiness is a hard thing because it is achieved only by making others happy.
Cloete, Stuart
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
Saroyan, William
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
Jefferson, Thomas
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Solon
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowper
The world's literature and folklore are full of stories that point out how futile it can be to seek happiness. Rather, happiness is a blessing that comes to you as you go along; a treasure that you incidentally find.
Binstock, Louis
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
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
The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel
I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
Oprah Winfrey
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Rohn, Jim
You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
Horace
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Aurelius, Marcus
Very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.
If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.
Maslow, Abraham H.
Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass through a thousand bosoms without losing a particle of its original ray; nay, when it strikes on a kindred heart, like the converged light on a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected till it is shared.
Porter, Jane
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
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi
In order to have great happiness, you have to have great pain and unhappiness-otherwise how would you know when you're happy?
Caron, Leslie
If frugality were established in the state, and if our expenses were laid out to meet needs rather than superfluities of life, there might be fewer wants, and even fewer pleasures, but infinitely more happiness.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.
Christopher Morley
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
Hoffer, Eric
Happiness is the act of being tough with ourselves and tender with others.
Do you want my one-word secret of happiness -- It's growth -- mental, financial, you name it.
Geneen, Harold S.
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
