Motivational Quotes
Happiness
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.

Best Quotes about Happiness
We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.
Landor, Walter Savage
The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.
Jeans, Sir James
To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.
Russell, Bertrand
Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meandering, but leads none of us by the same route
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
Jonathan Haidt
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
Mill, John Stuart
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
It is kind of happiness to know to what extent we may be unhappy.
Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor.
Benjamin Franklin
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
James Oppenheim
Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
The smallest annoyances, disturb us the most.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
There is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness.
Proverb, Spanish
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George
The secret of happiness is something to do.
Burroughs, John
Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.
Dewey, John
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne
Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass through a thousand bosoms without losing a particle of its original ray; nay, when it strikes on a kindred heart, like the converged light on a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected till it is shared.
Porter, Jane
The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Schweitzer, Albert
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
Happiness consists of three things; Someone to love, work to do, and a clear conscience.
It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first. The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self.
Black, Hugo
We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found; and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.
Johnson, Samuel
A person is never happy till their vague strivings has itself marked out its proper limitations.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier
The happy think a lifetime short, but to the unhappy one night can be an eternity.
Lucian
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi
Happiness is experienced when your life gives you what you are willing to accept.
Keyes Jr., Ken
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
Yeats, William Butler
The greatest joy of life is to love and be loved.
Clyde, R.D.
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
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
Joy comes from using your potential.
Schultz, Will
Call no man unhappy until he is married.
Socrates
My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.
Ketchel, Holly
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
Nash, Ogden
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham
Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.
Hazlitt, William
Happiness is a by product of an effort to make someone else happy.
Palmer, Gretta Brooker
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
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.
Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.
Peterson, Wilferd A.
Happiness is an agreeable sensation, arising from contemplating the misery of others.
Bierce, Ambrose
It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.
