Best Quotes about Happiness
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
The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.
Russell, Bertrand
Happiness is good for the body but sorrow strengthens the spirit.
Objects we ardently pursue bring little happiness when gained; most of our pleasures come from unexpected sources.
Spencer, Herbert
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
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.
Tillotson, John
Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.
Josh Billings
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
Downs, Hugh
Not only is there a right to be happy, there is a duty to be happy. So much sadness exists in the world that we are all under obligation to contribute as much joy as lies within our powers.
Bonnell, John S.
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Solon
Happy were men if they but understood There is no safety but in doing good
Fountain., John

Thomas Jefferson We never enjoy perfect happiness; our most fortunate successes are mingled with sadness; some anxieties always perplex the reality of our satisfaction.
James, William
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
Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Aurelius, Marcus
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be happy is not included in the plan of Creation.
Freud, Sigmund
Call no man unhappy until he is married.
Socrates
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Jung, Carl
All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.
Boone, Daniel
The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is love, laughter, and work.
Hubbard, Elbert
If you cannot renounce the world the genius of happiness will never salute you.
Prutz
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
James Oppenheim

Landor, Walter Savage

Muller, Max
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
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
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor
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
Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!
Bradley, Amanda
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
He wanted to live life in such a way that if a photograph were taken at random it would be a cool photograph. Things should look right. Fun; there should be a lot of fun and no more sadness than absolutely necessary.
David Nicholls
Many people have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Keller, Helen
This is the best kind of voyeurism, hearing joy from your neighbors.
Chuck Sigars
Happiness is a how, not a what: a talent, not an object
Hesse, Hermann
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
Prevert, Jacques
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
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Bergson, Henri L.
Joy comes from using your potential.
Schultz, Will
The final moment of success is often no more thrilling than taking off a heavy backpack at the end of a long hike. If you went on the hike only to feel that pleasure, you are a fool. Yet people sometimes do just this. They work hard at a task and expect some special euphoria at the end. But when they achieve success and find only moderate and short-lived pleasure, they ask is that all there is? They devalue their accomplishments as a striving after wind. We can call this the progress principle: Pleasure comes more from making progress toward goals than from achieving them.
Jonathan Haidt
The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
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
The greatest joy of life is to love and be loved.
Clyde, R.D.
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.
Happiness is not pleasure, it is victory.
Ziglar, Zig
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
