Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
It is kind of happiness to know to what extent we may be unhappy.

2.
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion.
Jean Jacques Rousseau

3.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.

4.
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
Proverb, Scottish

5.
Happiness is never stopping to think if you are.
Sondreal, Palmer

6.
I can sympathize with people's pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else's happiness.
Huxley, Aldous

7.
If you cannot renounce the world the genius of happiness will never salute you.
Prutz

8.
Happiness is not in having being; it is in doing.
Watson, Lilian Eichler

9.
To describe happiness is to diminish it.
Stendhal, Henri B.

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Farms and in castles, in homes, studies, and cloisters -- where sensible people manage to live relatively lusty and decent lives, as moral as they must be, as free as they may be, and as masterly as they can be. If we only knew it, this elusive arrangement is happiness.
Erikson, Erik H.

14.
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

15.
All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.
La Bruyere, Jean De

16.
The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.
Al Batt

17.
Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.
Rooney, Andy

18.
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

19.
Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it.
Herold, Don

20.
Happiness lies in being privileged to work hard for long hours in doing whatever you think is worth doing. One man may find happiness in supporting a wife and children. Another may find it in robbing banks. Still another may labor mightily for years in pursuing pure research with no discernible result. Note the individual and subjective nature of each case. No two are alike and there is no reason to expect them to be. Each man or woman must find for himself or herself that occupation in which hard work and long hours make him or her happy. Contrariwise, if you are looking for shorter hours and longer vacations and early retirement, you are in the wrong job. Perhaps you need to take up bank robbing. Or geeking in a sideshow. Or even politics.
Heinlein, Robert

21.
Never believe straight off in a man's unhappiness. Ask him if he can still sleep. If the answer's yes, all's well. That is enough.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

22.
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
Saroyan, William

23.
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us least live so as to deserve it.
Immanuel Hermann Fichte

24.
Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.
Jackson, Holbrook

25.
The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.
Jeans, Sir James

26.
It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first. The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose, aiming at something outside self.
Black, Hugo

27.
To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin.
Byron, Lord

28.
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
Prevert, Jacques

29.
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

30.
Like swimming, riding, writing, or playing golf, happiness can be learned.
Sokoloff, Boris

31.
Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.
Prazlin, Duchess

32.
We cannot be contented because we are happy, and we cannot be happy because we are contented.
Landor, Walter Savage

33.
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.

34.
We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found; and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.
Johnson, Samuel

35.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
Roy M. Goodman

36.
It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.
Rockefeller, John D.

37.
The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion.

38.
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne

39.
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy
Kant, Immanuel

40.
Happiness is not so much in having or sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Macewan, Norman

41.
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

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

43.
Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.
Strindberg, J. August

44.
Happiness is the light on the water. The water is cold and dark and deep.
Maxwell, William

45.
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph

46.
Happiness is not pleasure, it is victory.
Ziglar, Zig

47.
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

48.
If you want to be happy for a year, plant a garden; If you want to be happy for life, plant a tree.
Proverb, English

49.
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

50.
A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
