Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
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

Curtis, George William

Storm Jameson

5.
Not what you have, but what you see; Not what you see, but what you choose; Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what you dream, but what you do; Not what you take, but what you give; Not as you pray, but as you live. These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness.

6.
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George

Work and live to serve others, to leave the world a little better than you found it and garner for yourself as much peace of mind as you can. This is happiness.

Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

16.
We think a happy life consists in tranquility of mind.
Cicero, Marcus T.

17.

22.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Goodman, Roy

23.
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

24.
Happiness adds and multiplies, as we divide it with others.
Nielsen, A.

25.

Waitley, Denis

27.
What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

28.
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

Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
Feather, William

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.
Koenig, Frederick

32.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
Proust, Marcel

33.
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.

34.
Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.
Bennett, William John

35.
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

36.
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.

Traherne, Thomas
