Motivational Quotes
Happiness
Sir, that all who are happy, are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness.

Best Quotes about Happiness
There is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness.
Proverb, Spanish
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.
Jean Jacques Rousseau
I can sympathize with people's pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Huxley, Aldous
You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
Horace
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
Sir, that all who are happy, are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness.
Johnson, Samuel
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George
The happy think a lifetime short, but to the unhappy one night can be an eternity.
Lucian
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
Prevert, Jacques
Happiness is a positive cash flow.
Adler, Fred
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
Never believe straight off in a man's unhappiness. Ask him if he can still sleep. If the answer's yes, all's well. That is enough.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand
Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.
Lane, Rose Wilder
Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it.
Herold, Don
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.
Young, Margaret
Happiness is like manna; it is to be gathered in grains, and enjoyed every day. It will not keep; it cannot be accumulated; nor have we got to go out of ourselves or into remote places to gather it, since it has rained down from a Heaven, at our very door
Edwards, Tryon
For who is pleased with himself.
Johnson, Samuel
The really happy man never laughs -- seldom -- though he may smile. He does not need to laugh, for laughter, like weeping is a relief of mental tension -- and the happy are not over strung.
Aveling, Prof. F. A. P.
All sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones are moving easily under the flesh.
Doris Lessing
Happiness is an agreeable sensation, arising from contemplating the misery of others.
Bierce, Ambrose
A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier
All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
Sweetland, Ben
Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
Jonathan Haidt
There is something ridiculous and even quite indecent in an individual claiming to be happy. Still more a people or a nation making such a claim. The pursuit of happiness... is without any question the most fatuous which could possibly be undertaken. This lamentable phrase the pursuit of happiness is responsible for a good part of the ills and miseries of the modern world.
Muggeridge, Malcolm
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
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Russell, Bertrand
To describe happiness is to diminish it.
Stendhal, Henri B.
The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.
Jeans, Sir James
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 a by product of an effort to make someone else happy.
Palmer, Gretta Brooker
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
Storm Jameson
To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin.
Byron, Lord
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
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
Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.
Josh Billings
People who never achieve happiness are the ones who complain whenever they're awake, and whenever they're asleep, they are thinking about what to complain about tomorrow.
Zimbler, Adam
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
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle
The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
Stein, Ben
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
Feather, William
We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.
Landor, Walter Savage
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Bergson, Henri L.
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
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
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham
True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The great blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.
Seneca
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.
