Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
If you ever find happiness by hunting for it, you will find it as the old woman did her lost spectacles. Safe on her own nose all the time.
Billings, Josh

2.
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a person and life they lead.
Camus, Albert

3.
The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
John Berry

4.
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel

8.
Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.
Lane, Rose Wilder

9.
Happiness is the light on the water. The water is cold and dark and deep.
Maxwell, William

10.
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

11.
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

12.
We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.
Landor, Walter Savage

13.
There is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness.
Proverb, Spanish

14.
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

15.
If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life.
Maslow, Abraham H.

16.
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
Yeats, William Butler

17.
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

18.
Happy were men if they but understood There is no safety but in doing good
Fountain., John

19.
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis

20.
Do you want my one-word secret of happiness -- It's growth -- mental, financial, you name it.
Geneen, Harold S.

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

22.
You traverse the world in search of happiness, which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
Horace

23.
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

24.
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

25.
The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.
Al Batt

26.
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George

27.
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel

28.
Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.
Stossel, John

29.
Happiness consists of three things; Someone to love, work to do, and a clear conscience.

30.
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

31.
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
Barrie, Sir James M.

32.
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

33.
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

34.
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
Hoffer, Eric

35.
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus

36.
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

37.
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

38.
If you can't be happy where you are, it's a cinch you can't be happy where you ain't.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

39.
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

40.
Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition.
Rubinstein, Arthur

41.
False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sensible, and that happiness is always shared.
Montesquieu, Charles De

42.
When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

43.
Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel

44.
Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.

45.
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

46.
Happiness seems made to be shared.
Corneille, Pierre

47.
Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.
Richter, Jean Paul

48.
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

49.
It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

50.
Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.
Lao-Tzu
