Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Dumas, Alexandre

2.
The Greeks said grandly in their tragic phrase, Let no one be called happy till his death; to which I would add, Let no one, till his death be called unhappy.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

3.
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle

4.
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a person and life they lead.
Camus, Albert

5.
Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.
Lane, Rose Wilder

6.
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

7.
A good way I know to find happiness, is to not bore a hole to fit the plug.
Billings, Josh

8.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.

9.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
Roy M. Goodman

10.
Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.
Bennett, Arnold

11.
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
Barrie, Sir James M.

12.
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

13.
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.
Sondreal, Palmer

14.
The highest happiness of man is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

15.
He felt the loyalty we feel to unhappiness -- the sense that is where we really belong.
Greene, Graham

16.
No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
Angelis, Barbara De

17.
I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy!
Louise Bogan

18.
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

19.
When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things -- not the great occasions -- that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.
Hope, Bob

20.
Happiness arises in a state of peace, not of tumult.
Ann Radcliffe

21.
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil --or else an absolute ignorance.
Greene, Graham

22.
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George

23.
Happiness... she loves, to see men at work. She loves sweat, weariness, self sacrifice. She will be found not in places but lurking in cornfields and factories; and hovering over littered desks; she crowns the unconscious head of the busy child.
Grayson, David

24.
It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.
Bentham, Jeremy

25.
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

26.
The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about, is happiness enough to get their work done.
Carlyle, Thomas

27.
To be happy we must not be too concerned with others.
Camus, Albert

28.
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

29.
Happiness is the light on the water. The water is cold and dark and deep.
Maxwell, William

30.
I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure.
Lawana Blackwell

31.
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

32.
While we pursue happiness, we flee from contentment.
Proverb, Hasidic

33.
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne

34.
Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
George Burns

35.
Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
Jonathan Haidt

36.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Russell, Bertrand

37.
Happiness consists of three things; Someone to love, work to do, and a clear conscience.

38.
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

39.
It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.
Kin Hubbard

40.
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.

41.
Scarcely one person in a thousand is capable of tasting the happiness of others.
Fielding, Henry

42.
The biggest lie on the planet: When I get what I want, I will be happy.

43.
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
Feather, William

44.
Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.
Shaw, George Bernard

45.
Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.
Carnegie, Dale

46.
Do you want my one-word secret of happiness -- It's growth -- mental, financial, you name it.
Geneen, Harold S.

47.
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
Chalmers, Allan K.

48.
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

49.
Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world.
Beckett, Samuel

50.
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
Meltzer, Bernard
