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
If you optimize everything, you will always be unhappy.
Knuth, Don
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
A mind always employed is always happy. This is the true secret, the grand recipe, for felicity.
Jefferson, Thomas
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Rohn, Jim
Objects we ardently pursue bring little happiness when gained; most of our pleasures come from unexpected sources.
Spencer, Herbert
To describe happiness is to diminish it.
Stendhal, Henri B.
Happiness lies first of all in health.
Curtis, George William
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
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
Downs, Hugh
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
The smallest annoyances, disturb us the most.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
If you cannot renounce the world the genius of happiness will never salute you.
Prutz
Happiness is like a sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often as the rain of spring.
Proverb, Chinese
Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self. To be damned is for one's ordinary everyday mode of consciousness to be unremitting agonizing preoccupation with self.
Murdoch, Iris
Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
Jonathan Haidt
Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.
The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.

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
If you pursue happiness you never find it.
Snow, C(harles) P(ercy)
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Solon
The world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected, and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an additional weight of calumny will be super added.
Johnson, Samuel
Do you want my one-word secret of happiness -- It's growth -- mental, financial, you name it.
Geneen, Harold S.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; The wise grows it under his feet.
Oppenheimer, Julius Robert
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Dumas, Alexandre
Happiness adds and multiplies, as we divide it with others.
Nielsen, A.
Where there is joy there is creation. Where there is no joy there is no creation: know the nature of joy.
Upanishads, Veda
Happiness seems made to be shared.
Corneille, Pierre
Happiness is an agreeable sensation, arising from contemplating the misery of others.
Bierce, Ambrose
Happiness is the longing for repetition.
Kundera, Milan
Be open to your happiness and sadness as they arise.
Thomas, John M.
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
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
The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Schweitzer, Albert
If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.

Young, Margaret

Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Wilde, Oscar
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
If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing Double Dahlias in his garden.
Wolfe, W, Beran
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
Barrie, Sir James M.
The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be taken in small doses.
Baker, Russell (Wayne)
Happiness is perfume, you can't pour it on somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself
Zee, James Van Der
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
