Motivational Quotes
Happiness
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.
Best Quotes about Happiness
We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.
Landor, Walter Savage
Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.
Bennett, William John
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
If you optimize everything, you will always be unhappy.
Knuth, Don
If you're ever given the choice between happiness and intelligence choose happiness
The biggest lie on the planet: When I get what I want, I will be happy.
Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.
Prazlin, Duchess
This is the best kind of voyeurism, hearing joy from your neighbors.
Chuck Sigars
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
What would you call the highest happiness? Wratislaw was ask. The sense of competence, was the answer, given without hesitation.
Buchan, John
Be open to your happiness and sadness as they arise.
Thomas, John M.
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
Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.
Lane, Rose Wilder
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
Happiness ain't a thing in itself --it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain't happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.
Twain, Mark
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
Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake.
Walters, J. Donald
It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's only necessary to be rich.
Alda, Alan
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Dalai Lama
Happiness is not pleasure, it is victory.
Ziglar, Zig
No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.
Tozer, A. W.
Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The great blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.
Seneca
Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass through a thousand bosoms without losing a particle of its original ray; nay, when it strikes on a kindred heart, like the converged light on a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected till it is shared.
Porter, Jane
When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.
Forbes, Malcolm S.
Happiness is unrepentant pleasure.
Socrates
In theory there is a possibility of perfect happiness: To believe in the indestructible element within one, and not to strive towards it.
Kafka, Franz
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin
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)
There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.
Sivananda, Sri Swami
It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.
Waitley, Denis
Happiness is not in having being; it is in doing.
Watson, Lilian Eichler
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
Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.
Rooney, Andy
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne
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
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
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George
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
The highest happiness of man is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Happiness is a sort of action.
Aristotle
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Richter, Jean Paul
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
Happiness is good for the body but sorrow strengthens the spirit.
Happiness comes from... some curious adjustment to life.
Walpole, Sir Hugh
The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
John Berry
Sir, that all who are happy, are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness.
Johnson, Samuel
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
Happiness is like a sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often as the rain of spring.
Proverb, Chinese
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
Mill, John Stuart
