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
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
No thoroughly occupied man was ever yet very miserable.
Landon, Letitia Elizabeth
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be happy is not included in the plan of Creation.
Freud, Sigmund
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
The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Wilde, Oscar
The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.
Peterson, Wilferd A.
It's not a question of happiness, it's a requirement. Consider the alternative.
Horton, Doug
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
We take greater pains to persuade others we are happy than in trying to think so ourselves.
Confucius
That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.
Waitley, Denis
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
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Chuang Tzu
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Richter, Jean Paul
Happy were men if they but understood There is no safety but in doing good
Fountain., John
Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.
The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.
Heywood, John
Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of happiness.
Lao-tzu
What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?
Smith, Adam
The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a person and life they lead.
Camus, Albert
If you want to be happy for a year, plant a garden; If you want to be happy for life, plant a tree.
Proverb, English
Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly often attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.
Szasz, Thomas
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
Nash, Ogden
Happiness consists of three things; Someone to love, work to do, and a clear conscience.
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.
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph
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
Objects we ardently pursue bring little happiness when gained; most of our pleasures come from unexpected sources.
Spencer, Herbert
The secret of happiness is something to do.
Burroughs, John
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
Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it.
Herold, Don
Scarcely one person in a thousand is capable of tasting the happiness of others.
Fielding, Henry
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
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
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
It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.
Cervantes, Miguel De
The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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
Happiness is good for the body but sorrow strengthens the spirit.
The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Schweitzer, Albert
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
Koenig, Frederick
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
Sweetland, Ben
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.
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
Barrie, Sir James M.
In order to have great happiness, you have to have great pain and unhappiness-otherwise how would you know when you're happy?
Caron, Leslie
