Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
Meltzer, Bernard

2.
A good way I know to find happiness, is to not bore a hole to fit the plug.
Billings, Josh

3.
The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
John Berry

4.
No thoroughly occupied man was ever yet very miserable.
Landon, Letitia Elizabeth

5.
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil --or else an absolute ignorance.
Greene, Graham

6.
The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel

7.
If you pursue happiness you never find it.
Snow, C(harles) P(ercy)

8.
If you optimize everything, you will always be unhappy.
Knuth, Don

9.
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us so live as to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.

10.
The final moment of success is often no more thrilling than taking off a heavy backpack at the end of a long hike. If you went on the hike only to feel that pleasure, you are a fool. Yet people sometimes do just this. They work hard at a task and expect some special euphoria at the end. But when they achieve success and find only moderate and short-lived pleasure, they ask is that all there is? They devalue their accomplishments as a striving after wind. We can call this the progress principle: Pleasure comes more from making progress toward goals than from achieving them.
Jonathan Haidt

11.
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman

12.
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

13.
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle

14.
Happiness requires problems
Hollingworth, H. L.

15.
I'm fulfilled in what I do... I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes -- the finer things of life -- would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.
King, Coretta Scott

16.
If you can't be happy where you are, it's a cinch you can't be happy where you ain't.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

17.
A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Lincoln, Abraham

18.
It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.
Waitley, Denis

19.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln

20.
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
Proverb, Scottish

21.
Happiness is the longing for repetition.
Kundera, Milan

22.
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

23.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Rohn, Jim

24.
The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Schweitzer, Albert

25.
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

26.
I can sympathize with people's pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Huxley, Aldous

27.
The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.

28.
I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.
Lee, Bruce

29.
Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.
Strindberg, J. August

30.
Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

31.
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

32.
Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition.
Rubinstein, Arthur

33.
The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.
Heywood, John

34.
Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.
Prazlin, Duchess

35.
In order for people to be happy, sometimes they have to take risks. It's true these risks can put them in danger of being hurt.
Meg Cabot

36.
Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.
Josh Billings

37.
Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.
Millman, Dan

38.
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.

39.
Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.
Jefferson, Thomas

40.
The biggest lie on the planet: When I get what I want, I will be happy.

41.
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
Yeats, William Butler

42.
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Russell, Bertrand

43.
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

44.
Happiness is perfume, you can't pour it on somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself
Zee, James Van Der

45.
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.

46.
Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin.
Lubbock, Sir John

47.
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

48.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
James Oppenheim

49.
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
Chambers, Oswald

50.
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
