Happiness

Happiness adds and multiplies, as we divide it with others.

Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
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.
Walters, J. Donald

2.
Happiness is the light on the water. The water is cold and dark and deep.
Maxwell, William

3.
Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.
Dewey, John

4.
Not only is there a right to be happy, there is a duty to be happy. So much sadness exists in the world that we are all under obligation to contribute as much joy as lies within our powers.
Bonnell, John S.

5.
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

6.
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.
Peale, Norman Vincent

7.
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

8.
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

9.
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
Hoffer, Eric

10.
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

11.
Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.
Anderson, Greg

12.
A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.
Fontenelle, Bernard Le Bovier

13.
The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.
Al Batt

14.
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

15.
To be happy is not the purpose of our being rather it is to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.

16.
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

17.
Happiness is like manna; it is to be gathered in grains, and enjoyed every day. It will not keep; it cannot be accumulated; nor have we got to go out of ourselves or into remote places to gather it, since it has rained down from a Heaven, at our very door
Edwards, Tryon

18.
Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.
Chopra, Deepak

19.
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
Yeats, William Butler

20.
What makes people happy is activity; changing evil itself into good by power, working in a God like manner.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

21.
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

22.
We think a happy life consists in tranquility of mind.
Cicero, Marcus T.

23.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln

24.
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

25.
The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
Stein, Ben

26.
Suspicion of happiness is in our blood.
Lucas, E. V.

27.
All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.
Boone, Daniel

28.
Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize.
Meredith, Owen

29.
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil --or else an absolute ignorance.
Greene, Graham

30.
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

31.
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

32.
Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it.
Herold, Don

33.
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

34.
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
Apollinaire, Guillaume

35.
I'm fulfilled in what I do... I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes -- the finer things of life -- would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.
King, Coretta Scott

36.
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

37.
What a man really wants is creative challenge with sufficient skills to bring him within the reach of success so that he may have the expanding joy of achievement.
Nash, Fay B.

38.
Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.
Barthel, Mildred

39.
Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.
Peterson, Wilferd A.

40.
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Solon

41.
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

42.
The highest happiness of man is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

43.
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
Nash, Ogden

44.
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

45.
A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Lincoln, Abraham

46.
The great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modeled, by the most profound wisdom of patriots and legislators. Even the lonely savage, who lies exposed to the inclemency of the elements and the fury of wild beasts, forgets not, for a moment, this grand object of his being.
Hume, David

47.
Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good things toward you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as others. Do not strain after the needs of life. It is sufficient to be quietly alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more naturally and effortlessly. Life is here to Enjoy!
Yogi, Maharishi Mahesh

48.
One feels inclined to say that the intention that man should be happy is not included in the plan of Creation.
Freud, Sigmund

49.
The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.
Jeans, Sir James

50.
The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
