Happiness
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us least live so as to deserve it.

Best Quotes about Happiness
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
Proverb, Scottish
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
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
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel
The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.
Al Batt
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
Be open to your happiness and sadness as they arise.
Thomas, John M.
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Happiness is the longing for repetition.
Kundera, Milan
Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.
Chopra, Deepak
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.
Alcott, Louisa May
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Bergson, Henri L.
No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
Angelis, Barbara De
The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Schweitzer, Albert
A person is never happy till their vague strivings has itself marked out its proper limitations.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
Feather, William
Where there is joy there is creation. Where there is no joy there is no creation: know the nature of joy.
Upanishads, Veda
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowper
Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.
Jefferson, Thomas
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis
Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor.
Benjamin Franklin
It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.
Waitley, Denis
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne
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
What makes people happy is activity; changing evil itself into good by power, working in a God like manner.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being, you'd be a game show host.
Heatter, Gabriel
Human happiness seems to consist in three ingredients; action, pleasure and indolence. And though these ingredients ought to be mixed in different proportions, according to the disposition of the person, yet no one ingredient can be entirely wanting without destroying in some measure the relish of the whole composition. composition.
Hume, David
Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.
Peterson, Wilferd A.
I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy!
Louise Bogan
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.
Camus, Albert
Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.
Anderson, Greg
To be happy we must not be too concerned with others.
Camus, Albert
It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.
Cervantes, Miguel De
While we pursue happiness, we flee from contentment.
Proverb, Hasidic
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
It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's only necessary to be rich.
Alda, Alan
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Richter, Jean Paul
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
To be happy is not the purpose of our being rather it is to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.
What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?
Smith, Adam
But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint. Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.
Carlyle, Thomas
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Solon
It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.
Kin Hubbard
No thoroughly occupied man was ever yet very miserable.
Landon, Letitia Elizabeth
Happiness consists in activity -- it is a running stream, not a stagnant pool.
Mason, John L.
