Motivational Quotes

Happiness

The attitude of unhappiness is not only painful, it is mean and ugly. What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it may have been engendered? What is more injurious to others? What less helpful as a way out of the difficulty? It but fastens and perpetuates the trouble which occasioned it, and increases the total evil of the situation. At all costs, then, we ought to reduce the sway of that mood; we ought to scout it in ourselves and others, and never show it tolerance.
- James, William
Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.

2.
Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

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

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

Storm Jameson

Sometimes it's hard to avoid the happiness of others.
David Assael

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

8.
Happiness is not a horse, you cannot harness it.
Proverb, Russian

9.
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

10.
Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.
Carnegie, Dale

11.
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

12.
No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.
Solon

Aurelius, Marcus

Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Chuang Tzu

15.
Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.
Dewey, John

16.
Remember that it is nothing to do your duty, that is demanded of you and is no more meritorious than to wash your hands when they are dirty; the only thing that counts is the love of duty; when love and duty are one, then grace is in you and you will enjoy a happiness which passes all understanding.
W. Somerset Maugham

17.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; The wise grows it under his feet.
Oppenheimer, Julius Robert

18.
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

19.
Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in stranger's gardens.
Jerrold, Douglas William

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

Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Richter, Jean Paul

22.
Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.
Christopher Morley

23.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
James Oppenheim

24.
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy
Kant, Immanuel

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

26.
Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.
Horton, Doug

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.

True happiness is the full use of your powers along lines of excellence in a life affording scope.
Kennedy, John F.

29.
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

30.
Happiness is the longing for repetition.
Kundera, Milan

31.
No man is happy who does not think himself so.

32.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Goodman, Roy

33.
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

34.
IÆve decided that the key to happiness is low expectations.
Laura Moncur

35.
We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.
Baughan, R.J.

36.
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

37.
I can sympathize with people's pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Huxley, Aldous

38.
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
Yeats, William Butler

39.
Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

40.
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Solon

41.
If you cannot renounce the world the genius of happiness will never salute you.
Prutz

42.
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

43.
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.
Sondreal, Palmer

44.
We wish to be happier than other people; and this is difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.
Montesquieu, Charles De

45.
Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.
Traherne, Thomas

46.
Happiness is not a state to arrive at, rather, a manner of traveling.
Johnson, Samuel

47.
We all want to be happy, and we're all going to die. You might say those are the only two unchallengeably true facts that apply to every human being on this planet.
Boyd, William

48.
Happiness is not a reward -- it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment -- it is a result.
Ingersoll, Robert Green

49.
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

50.
The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion.
