Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
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

2.
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

3.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Aurelius, Marcus

4.
We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.
Yeats, William Butler

5.
Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.
Alcott, Louisa May

6.
Happiness consists of three things; Someone to love, work to do, and a clear conscience.

7.
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

8.
Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

9.
Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.

10.
The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.
Heywood, John

11.
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
Mill, John Stuart

12.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Dalai Lama

13.
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin

14.
It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.
Cervantes, Miguel De

15.
The smallest annoyances, disturb us the most.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

16.
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.

17.
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
Koenig, Frederick

18.
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
Robertson Davies

19.
Happiness is like a sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often as the rain of spring.
Proverb, Chinese

20.
Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meandering, but leads none of us by the same route
Colton, Charles Caleb

21.
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor

22.
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

23.
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel

24.
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
Meltzer, Bernard

25.
Happiness seems made to be shared.
Corneille, Pierre

26.
Happiness... she loves, to see men at work. She loves sweat, weariness, self sacrifice. She will be found not in places but lurking in cornfields and factories; and hovering over littered desks; she crowns the unconscious head of the busy child.
Grayson, David

27.
Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

28.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln

29.
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus

30.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Goodman, Roy

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Wilde, Oscar

32.
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
Hoffer, Eric

33.
Very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

34.
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

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

36.
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be happy is not included in the plan of Creation.
Freud, Sigmund

It is kind of happiness to know to what extent we may be unhappy.

38.
It's not a question of happiness, it's a requirement. Consider the alternative.
Horton, Doug

Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.
Barthel, Mildred

Clyde, R.D.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle

42.
Like swimming, riding, writing, or playing golf, happiness can be learned.
Sokoloff, Boris

43.
After what we can say you can be sure the happy heart will make the happy day.

44.
I can sympathize with people's pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Huxley, Aldous

45.
Happiness is not a horse, you cannot harness it.
Proverb, Russian

Happiness is the light on the water. The water is cold and dark and deep.
Maxwell, William

47.
Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.
