Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
Happiness consists of three things; Someone to love, work to do, and a clear conscience.

2.
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

3.
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

4.
We all want to be happy, and we're all going to die. You might say those are the only two unchallengeably true facts that apply to every human being on this planet.
Boyd, William

5.
Happiness is good for the body but sorrow strengthens the spirit.

6.
The hardest habit of all to break is the terrible habit of happiness.
Garrison, Theodosia

7.
Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition.
Rubinstein, Arthur

8.
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

9.
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham

10.
Like swimming, riding, writing, or playing golf, happiness can be learned.
Sokoloff, Boris

11.
Happiness is a sort of action.
Aristotle

12.
Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

13.
The biggest lie on the planet: When I get what I want, I will be happy.

14.
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
William Cowper

15.
Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.
Prazlin, Duchess

16.
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

17.
Scarcely one person in a thousand is capable of tasting the happiness of others.
Fielding, Henry

18.
To buy happiness is to sell soul.
Horton, Doug

19.
Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.
Anderson, Greg

20.
Never believe straight off in a man's unhappiness. Ask him if he can still sleep. If the answer's yes, all's well. That is enough.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

21.
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph

22.
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.

23.
Happiness is the act of being tough with ourselves and tender with others.

24.
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
Schachtel, Rabbi H.

25.
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)

26.
The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion.

27.
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

28.
The greatest joy of life is to love and be loved.
Clyde, R.D.

29.
My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.
Ketchel, Holly

30.
Sometimes it's hard to avoid the happiness of others.
David Assael

31.
Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!
Bradley, Amanda

32.
The journey to happiness involves finding the courage to go down into ourselves and take responsibility for what's there: all of it.
Rohr, Richard

33.
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us so live as to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.

34.
Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor.
Benjamin Franklin

35.
It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.
Kin Hubbard

36.
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
Ayn Rand

37.
And isn't that, at it's core, what the princess fantasy is about for all of us? "Princess" is how we tell little girls that they are special, precious. "Princess" is the wish that we could protect them from pain, that they would never know sorrow, that they will live happily ever after ensconces in lace and innocence.
Peggy Orenstein

38.
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

39.
Personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a checklist of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications are not your life.
J.K. Rowling

40.
Happiness is a how, not a what: a talent, not an object
Hesse, Hermann

41.
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

42.
We take greater pains to persuade others we are happy than in trying to think so ourselves.
Confucius

43.
Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it.
Herold, Don

44.
Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.
Jackson, Holbrook

45.
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

46.
Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of happiness.
Lao-tzu

47.
We wish to be happier than other people; and this is difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.
Montesquieu, Charles De

48.
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman

49.
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Dumas, Alexandre

50.
Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
Ingersoll, Robert Green
