Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
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

2.
Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

3.
Joy comes from using your potential.
Schultz, Will

4.
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

5.
The greatest joy of life is to love and be loved.
Clyde, R.D.

6.
There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
Dyer, Wayne

7.
But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint. Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.
Carlyle, Thomas

8.
Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.
Marden, Orison Swett

9.
Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize.
Meredith, Owen

10.
The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, as sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.
Heywood, John

11.
The highest happiness of man is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

12.
Where there is joy there is creation. Where there is no joy there is no creation: know the nature of joy.
Upanishads, Veda

13.
Man is the artificer of his own happiness.
Henry David Thoreau

14.
Happiness is the light on the water. The water is cold and dark and deep.
Maxwell, William

15.
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Addison, Joseph

16.
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Aurelius, Marcus

17.
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Solon

18.
The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

19.
The secret of happiness is something to do.
Burroughs, John

20.
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
Jefferson, Thomas

21.
All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.
La Bruyere, Jean De

22.
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be happy is not included in the plan of Creation.
Freud, Sigmund

23.
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus

24.
Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.
Barthel, Mildred

25.
Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.
Rubin, Theodore I.

26.
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

27.
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
Storm Jameson

28.
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

29.
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.

30.
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman

31.
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph

32.
The man who is born with a talent which he was meant to use finds his greatest happiness in using it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
In order to have great happiness, you have to have great pain and unhappiness-otherwise how would you know when you're happy?
Caron, Leslie

34.
Most of us experience happiness when we are enjoying life and feeling free, enjoying the process and products of our creative and intellectual processes, enjoying the ecstasy of transcendent oneness with the universe.
Muriel, James

35.
Happiness is the longing for repetition.
Kundera, Milan

36.
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

37.
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
Schachtel, Rabbi H.

38.
Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
Santayana, George

39.
The hardest habit of all to break is the terrible habit of happiness.
Garrison, Theodosia

40.
Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

41.
Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.
Alcott, Louisa May

42.
Happiness consists in activity -- it is a running stream, not a stagnant pool.
Mason, John L.

43.
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

44.
Happiness comes from... some curious adjustment to life.
Walpole, Sir Hugh

45.
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

46.
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

47.
Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be taken in small doses.
Baker, Russell (Wayne)

48.
Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.
Russell, Bertrand

49.
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.
Camus, Albert

50.
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
