Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
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

2.
Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.
Stossel, John

3.
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.

4.
All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!
Bob Newhart

5.
Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake.
Walters, J. Donald

6.
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

7.
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

8.
We cannot be contented because we are happy, and we cannot be happy because we are contented.
Landor, Walter Savage

9.
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

10.
Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again -- this is the brave and happy life.
Buckrose, J.E

11.
Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.
Anderson, Greg

12.
Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the manner we appreciate the one and the other, and the choice we make pursuant to our individual organization.
Sade, Marquis De

13.
Happiness is like manna; it is to be gathered in grains, and enjoyed every day. It will not keep; it cannot be accumulated; nor have we got to go out of ourselves or into remote places to gather it, since it has rained down from a Heaven, at our very door
Edwards, Tryon

14.
We think a happy life consists in tranquility of mind.
Cicero, Marcus T.

15.
To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin.
Byron, Lord

16.
I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy!
Louise Bogan

17.
Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
George Burns

18.
Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.

19.
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

20.
There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.
Sivananda, Sri Swami

21.
The Greeks said grandly in their tragic phrase, Let no one be called happy till his death; to which I would add, Let no one, till his death be called unhappy.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

22.
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Addison, Joseph

23.
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis

24.
Happy were men if they but understood There is no safety but in doing good
Fountain., John

25.
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Solon

26.
All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.
La Bruyere, Jean De

27.
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

28.
Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

29.
Happiness is a hard thing because it is achieved only by making others happy.
Cloete, Stuart

30.
You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
Horace

31.
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

32.
The glow of satisfaction which follows the consciousness of doing our level best never comes to a human being from any other experience.
Marden, Orison Swett

33.
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
Chalmers, Allan K.

34.
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel

35.
There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
Dyer, Wayne

36.
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

37.
Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.
Bono, Edward De

38.
The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.
Al Batt

39.
Happiness requires problems
Hollingworth, H. L.

40.
Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in stranger's gardens.
Jerrold, Douglas William

41.
Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.
Traherne, Thomas

42.
We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.
Yeats, William Butler

43.
Shall I give you my recipe for happiness? I find everything useful and nothing indispensable. I find everything wonderful and nothing miraculous. I reverence the body. I avoid first causes like the plague.
Douglas, Norman

44.
Happiness is not in having being; it is in doing.
Watson, Lilian Eichler

45.
It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

46.
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
Mill, John Stuart

47.
If you cannot renounce the world the genius of happiness will never salute you.
Prutz

48.
Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember.
Oscar Levant

49.
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

50.
After what we can say you can be sure the happy heart will make the happy day.
