- Boyd, William

Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln

2.
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

3.
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

4.
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.

5.
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George

6.
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

7.
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost

8.
The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
Stein, Ben

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''

10.
Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.
Strindberg, J. August

11.
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

12.
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

13.
If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.
Epicurus

14.
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Kingsley, Charles

15.
The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.
C. P. Snow

16.
When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things -- not the great occasions -- that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.
Hope, Bob

17.
The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about, is happiness enough to get their work done.
Carlyle, Thomas

18.
We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.
Landor, Walter Savage

19.
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph

20.
A person is never happy till their vague strivings has itself marked out its proper limitations.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

21.
You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
Horace

22.
True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.
Addison, Joseph

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

24.
Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly.
Russell, Bertrand

25.
What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.

Chopra, Deepak

Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
Roy M. Goodman

32.
Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition.
Rubinstein, Arthur

33.
Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it.
Herold, Don

34.
I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.
Lee, Bruce

35.
Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.
Bennett, Arnold

A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Lincoln, Abraham

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
George Burns

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

39.
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

40.
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

41.
After what we can say you can be sure the happy heart will make the happy day.

42.
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Dumas, Alexandre

43.
It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.
Waitley, Denis

44.
Happiness is not a possession to be prized. It is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Maurier, Daphne Du

45.
I can sympathize with people's pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Huxley, Aldous

46.
Personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a checklist of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications are not your life.
J.K. Rowling

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