Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
Happiness is not so much in having or sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Macewan, Norman

2.
The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
John Berry

3.
If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.
Epicurus

4.
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
Sweetland, Ben

5.
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

6.
We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.
Yeats, William Butler

7.
If you optimize everything, you will always be unhappy.
Knuth, Don

8.
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham

9.
Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

10.
My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.
Ketchel, Holly

11.
There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.
Brande, Dorothea

12.
Happiness is the act of being tough with ourselves and tender with others.

13.
Where one is wise two are happy.
Proverb

14.
Happiness ain't a thing in itself --it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain't happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.
Twain, Mark

15.
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

16.
A mind always employed is always happy. This is the true secret, the grand recipe, for felicity.
Jefferson, Thomas

17.
True happiness is the full use of your powers along lines of excellence in a life affording scope.
Kennedy, John F.

18.
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
Chalmers, Allan K.

19.
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis

20.
I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
Oprah Winfrey

21.
The glow of satisfaction which follows the consciousness of doing our level best never comes to a human being from any other experience.
Marden, Orison Swett

22.
The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a new star.
Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

23.
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

24.
Many people have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Keller, Helen

25.
The greatest joy of life is to love and be loved.
Clyde, R.D.

26.
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

27.
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''

28.
Happiness is not pleasure, it is victory.
Ziglar, Zig

29.
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.

30.
Scarcely one person in a thousand is capable of tasting the happiness of others.
Fielding, Henry

31.
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.

32.
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
Mill, John Stuart

33.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; The wise grows it under his feet.
Oppenheimer, Julius Robert

34.
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy
Kant, Immanuel

35.
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost

36.
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us least live so as to deserve it.
Immanuel Hermann Fichte

37.
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
Muggeridge, Malcolm

38.
For who is pleased with himself.
Johnson, Samuel

39.
Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

40.
Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.
Rubin, Theodore I.

41.
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel

42.
And isn't that, at it's core, what the princess fantasy is about for all of us? "Princess" is how we tell little girls that they are special, precious. "Princess" is the wish that we could protect them from pain, that they would never know sorrow, that they will live happily ever after ensconces in lace and innocence.
Peggy Orenstein

43.
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
Saroyan, William

44.
The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.
Russell, Bertrand

45.
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. It is sufficient to be quietly alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more naturally and effortlessly. Life is here to Enjoy!
Yogi, Maharishi Mahesh

46.
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Publilius Syrus

47.
Happiness... is not a destination: it is a manner of traveling. Happiness is not an end in itself. It is a by-product of working, playing, loving and living.
Ginott, Haim

48.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln

49.
If you pursue happiness you never find it.
Snow, C(harles) P(ercy)

50.
The happier the moment the shorter.
Pliny The Elder
