Motivational Quotes
Happiness
Men expect that religion should cost them no pains, that happiness should drop into their laps without any design and endeavor on their part, and that, after they have done what they please while they live, God should snatch them up to heaven when they die. But though the commandments of God be not grievous, yet it is fit to let men know that they are not thus easy.

Best Quotes about Happiness
It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Be open to your happiness and sadness as they arise.
Thomas, John M.
No thoroughly occupied man was ever yet very miserable.
Landon, Letitia Elizabeth
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.
Happiness is perfume, you can't pour it on somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself
Zee, James Van Der
If frugality were established in the state, and if our expenses were laid out to meet needs rather than superfluities of life, there might be fewer wants, and even fewer pleasures, but infinitely more happiness.
Goldsmith, Oliver
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
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
Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.
Stossel, John
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.
Jean Jacques Rousseau
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
It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's only necessary to be rich.
Alda, Alan
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
Happiness comes from... some curious adjustment to life.
Walpole, Sir Hugh
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
Proverb, Scottish
Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.
Chopra, Deepak
The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.
All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!
Bob Newhart
Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.
Carnegie, Dale
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
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph
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.
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
No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.
Tozer, A. W.
Happiness is a positive cash flow.
Adler, Fred
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
Happiness ain't a thing in itself --it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain't happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.
Twain, Mark
The secret of happiness is something to do.
Burroughs, John
We take greater pains to persuade others we are happy than in trying to think so ourselves.
Confucius
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
Proust, Marcel
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.
Marden, Orison Swett
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
James Oppenheim
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.
Josh Billings
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Waitley, Denis
A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Lincoln, Abraham
Depend not on another, but lean instead on thyself...True happiness is born of self-reliance.
The laws of Manu
You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
Horace
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
Muggeridge, Malcolm
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle
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
Farms and in castles, in homes, studies, and cloisters -- where sensible people manage to live relatively lusty and decent lives, as moral as they must be, as free as they may be, and as masterly as they can be. If we only knew it, this elusive arrangement is happiness.
Erikson, Erik H.
Happiness is not a reward -- it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment -- it is a result.
Ingersoll, Robert Green
If you pursue happiness you never find it.
Snow, C(harles) P(ercy)
