Best Quotes about Happiness
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
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
Muggeridge, Malcolm
Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.
Horton, Doug
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''
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
A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Lincoln, Abraham
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us so live as to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.
We take greater pains to persuade others we are happy than in trying to think so ourselves.
Confucius
The man who is born with a talent which he was meant to use finds his greatest happiness in using it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.
Thomas Szasz
Call no man unhappy until he is married.
Socrates
Happiness is an agreeable sensation, arising from contemplating the misery of others.
Bierce, Ambrose
It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.
Cervantes, Miguel De
After what we can say you can be sure the happy heart will make the happy day.
The glow of satisfaction which follows the consciousness of doing our level best never comes to a human being from any other experience.
Marden, Orison Swett
Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.
Alcott, Louisa May
In order to be truly happy, you must live along with, and you must stand for something larger than yourself.
Oprah Winfrey
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.
Camus, Albert
The happy think a lifetime short, but to the unhappy one night can be an eternity.
Lucian
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
Ayn Rand
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
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
Proust, Marcel
My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.
Ketchel, Holly
Let no one till his death be called unhappy. Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
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
Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.
Chopra, Deepak
The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Schweitzer, Albert
IÆve decided that the key to happiness is low expectations.
Laura Moncur
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
Happiness is a by product of an effort to make someone else happy.
Palmer, Gretta Brooker
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
Levenson, Samuel
Happiness is good for the body but sorrow strengthens the spirit.
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
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.
Young, Margaret
The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
Stein, Ben
All sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones are moving easily under the flesh.
Doris Lessing
Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
Franklin, Benjamin
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
Storm Jameson
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.
We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.
Yeats, William Butler
Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly.
Russell, Bertrand
Very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
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
He wanted to live life in such a way that if a photograph were taken at random it would be a cool photograph. Things should look right. Fun; there should be a lot of fun and no more sadness than absolutely necessary.
David Nicholls
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil --or else an absolute ignorance.
Greene, Graham
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne
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
I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.
Lee, Bruce
