Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
While we pursue happiness, we flee from contentment.
Proverb, Hasidic

2.
This is the best kind of voyeurism, hearing joy from your neighbors.
Chuck Sigars

3.
Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.
Horton, Doug

4.
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Kingsley, Charles

5.
Scarcely one person in a thousand is capable of tasting the happiness of others.
Fielding, Henry

6.
Happiness is the act of being tough with ourselves and tender with others.

7.
Objects we ardently pursue bring little happiness when gained; most of our pleasures come from unexpected sources.
Spencer, Herbert

8.
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.

9.
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
Barrie, Sir James M.

10.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
James Oppenheim

11.
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

12.
The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.

13.
Happiness must be cultivated. It is like character. It is not a thing to be safely let alone for a moment, or it will run to weeds.
Phelps, Elizabeth Stuart

14.
Happiness is perfume, you can't pour it on somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself
Zee, James Van Der

15.
If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.
Maslow, Abraham H.

16.
To buy happiness is to sell soul.
Horton, Doug

17.
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

18.
Happiness is not a brilliant climax to years of grim struggle and anxiety. It is a long succession of little decisions simply to be happy in the moment.
Walters, J. Donald

19.
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

20.
A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander

21.
Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.
Bennett, William John

22.
Happiness is unrepentant pleasure.
Socrates

23.
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
Meltzer, Bernard

24.
Happiness is not a possession to be prized. It is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Maurier, Daphne Du

25.
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel

26.
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

27.
Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize.
Meredith, Owen

28.
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

29.
The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.
C. P. Snow

30.
There's a hope for every woe, and a balm for every pain, but the first joys of our heart come never back again!
Gilfillan, Robert

31.
Happiness is a positive cash flow.
Adler, Fred

32.
Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
Santayana, George

33.
The secret of happiness is something to do.
Burroughs, John

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

35.
Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

36.
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

37.
There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.
Brande, Dorothea

38.

Robertson Davies

40.

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

Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
Jonathan Haidt

48.
Happiness is good for the body but sorrow strengthens the spirit.

49.
We take greater pains to persuade others we are happy than in trying to think so ourselves.
Confucius
