Motivational Quotes
Happiness
Personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a checklist of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications are not your life.
Best Quotes about Happiness
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
Chambers, Oswald
Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.
Hazlitt, William
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us so live as to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
Sweetland, Ben
Happiness is a hard thing because it is achieved only by making others happy.
Cloete, Stuart
We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.
Yeats, William Butler
Suspicion of happiness is in our blood.
Lucas, E. V.
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
Happiness is not a horse, you cannot harness it.
Proverb, Russian
Shall I give you my recipe for happiness? I find everything useful and nothing indispensable. I find everything wonderful and nothing miraculous. I reverence the body. I avoid first causes like the plague.
Douglas, Norman
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
Feather, William
If you optimize everything, you will always be unhappy.
Knuth, Don
My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.
Ketchel, Holly
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
Prevert, Jacques
If you can't be happy where you are, it's a cinch you can't be happy where you ain't.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''
The best advice on the art of being happy is about as easy to follow as advice to be well when one is sick.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie
Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in stranger's gardens.
Jerrold, Douglas William
Happiness is like a sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often as the rain of spring.
Proverb, Chinese
Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meandering, but leads none of us by the same route
Colton, Charles Caleb
What makes people happy is activity; changing evil itself into good by power, working in a God like manner.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von
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
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
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 is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.
Jefferson, Thomas
The world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected, and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an additional weight of calumny will be super added.
Johnson, Samuel
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
Storm Jameson
All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.
Boone, Daniel
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel
A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Lincoln, Abraham
Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.
Anderson, Greg
Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self. To be damned is for one's ordinary everyday mode of consciousness to be unremitting agonizing preoccupation with self.
Murdoch, Iris
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
Man is the artificer of his own happiness.
Henry David Thoreau
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle
Sometimes it's hard to avoid the happiness of others.
David Assael
Do you want my one-word secret of happiness -- It's growth -- mental, financial, you name it.
Geneen, Harold S.
To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.
Russell, Bertrand
A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
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
Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.
Peterson, Wilferd A.
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Publilius Syrus
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
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
Proust, Marcel
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
