Motivational Quotes
Happiness
The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.

Best Quotes about Happiness
To be happy is not the purpose of our being rather it is to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.
Happiness is not so much in having or sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Macewan, Norman
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
Apollinaire, Guillaume
Happiness is not a possession to be prized. It is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Maurier, Daphne Du
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle
There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.
Sivananda, Sri Swami
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
A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Lincoln, Abraham
I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure.
Lawana Blackwell
True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.
Addison, Joseph
The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
There is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness.
Proverb, Spanish
Happiness lies in being privileged to work hard for long hours in doing whatever you think is worth doing. One man may find happiness in supporting a wife and children. Another may find it in robbing banks. Still another may labor mightily for years in pursuing pure research with no discernible result. Note the individual and subjective nature of each case. No two are alike and there is no reason to expect them to be. Each man or woman must find for himself or herself that occupation in which hard work and long hours make him or her happy. Contrariwise, if you are looking for shorter hours and longer vacations and early retirement, you are in the wrong job. Perhaps you need to take up bank robbing. Or geeking in a sideshow. Or even politics.
Heinlein, Robert
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
The happy think a lifetime short, but to the unhappy one night can be an eternity.
Lucian
Happiness is an agreeable sensation, arising from contemplating the misery of others.
Bierce, Ambrose
Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.
Rooney, Andy
Happiness is not a state to arrive at, rather, a manner of traveling.
Johnson, Samuel
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
Robertson Davies
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham
The really happy man never laughs -- seldom -- though he may smile. He does not need to laugh, for laughter, like weeping is a relief of mental tension -- and the happy are not over strung.
Aveling, Prof. F. A. P.
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Chuang Tzu
Sometimes it's hard to avoid the happiness of others.
David Assael
Suspicion of happiness is in our blood.
Lucas, E. V.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Russell, Bertrand
The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.
Heywood, John
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
Schachtel, Rabbi H.
What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?
Smith, Adam
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
No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
Angelis, Barbara De
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.
Barthel, Mildred
We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.
Landor, Walter Savage
Happiness requires problems
Hollingworth, H. L.
Do you want my one-word secret of happiness -- It's growth -- mental, financial, you name it.
Geneen, Harold S.
Happiness is perfume, you can't pour it on somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself
Zee, James Van Der
Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.
Thomas Szasz
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
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
Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.
Lao-Tzu
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
The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Schweitzer, Albert
Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
Franklin, Benjamin
We are made happy when reason can discover no occasion for it. The memory of some past moments is more persuasive than the experience of present ones. There have been visions of such breadth and brightness that these motes were invisible in their light.
Thoreau, Henry David
Personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a checklist of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications are not your life.
J.K. Rowling
A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier
