Happiness

No burden is so heavy for a man to bear as a succession of happy days.

- Muller, Max

Best Quotes about Happiness

The attitude of unhappiness is not only painful, it is mean and ugly. What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it may have been engendered? What is more injurious to others? What less helpful as a way out of the difficulty? It but fastens and perpetuates the trouble which occasioned it, and increases the total evil of the situation. At all costs, then, we ought to reduce the sway of that mood; we ought to scout it in ourselves and others, and never show it tolerance.

James, William

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

No burden is so heavy for a man to bear as a succession of happy days.

Muller, Max

Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.

Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

It is kind of happiness to know to what extent we may be unhappy.

Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower-Author Unknown People need your love the most when they appear to deserve it the least.

Harrigan, John

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.

But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint. Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.

Carlyle, Thomas

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Addison, Joseph

10.

The world's literature and folklore are full of stories that point out how futile it can be to seek happiness. Rather, happiness is a blessing that comes to you as you go along; a treasure that you incidentally find.

Binstock, Louis

11.

The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.

C. P. Snow

12.

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

13.

The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about, is happiness enough to get their work done.

Carlyle, Thomas

14.

In theory there is a possibility of perfect happiness: To believe in the indestructible element within one, and not to strive towards it.

Kafka, Franz

15.

Be open to your happiness and sadness as they arise.

Thomas, John M.

16.

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

17.

If you ever find happiness by hunting for it, you will find it as the old woman did her lost spectacles. Safe on her own nose all the time.

Billings, Josh

18.

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

19.

Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.

Alcott, Louisa May

20.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

Aurelius, Marcus

21.

We are made happy when reason can discover no occasion for it. The memory of some past moments is more persuasive than the experience of present ones. There have been visions of such breadth and brightness that these motes were invisible in their light.

Thoreau, Henry David

22.

Happiness is not a brilliant climax to years of grim struggle and anxiety. It is a long succession of little decisions simply to be happy in the moment.

Walters, J. Donald

23.

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a person and life they lead.

Camus, Albert

24.

Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.

Thomas Szasz

25.

I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.

Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

26.

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

27.

Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize.

Meredith, Owen

28.

Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.

Shaw, George Bernard

29.

For who is pleased with himself.

Johnson, Samuel

30.

The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.

Saroyan, William

31.

The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

Schweitzer, Albert

32.

Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.

Lane, Rose Wilder

33.

Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin.

Lubbock, Sir John

34.

Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product.

Roosevelt, Eleanor

35.

Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.

Stossel, John

36.

Happiness is not a horse, you cannot harness it.

Proverb, Russian

37.

If you cannot renounce the world the genius of happiness will never salute you.

Prutz

38.

There is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness.

Proverb, Spanish

39.

The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.

Dostoevsky, Fyodor

40.

Happiness seems made to be shared.

Corneille, Pierre

41.

All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!

Bob Newhart

42.

Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.

O'Malley, Austin

43.

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.

Democritus

44.

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.

Marden, Orison Swett

45.

Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.

Carnegie, Dale

46.

The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.

Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

47.

The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion.

48.

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

49.

The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.

Stein, Ben

50.

Happiness is a journey not a destination.

Sweetland, Ben
