Best Quotes about Happiness

Happiness is not a possession to be prized. It is a quality of thought, a state of mind.

Maurier, Daphne Du

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

The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.

Saroyan, William

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

Al Batt

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

It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.

Epicurus

The Greeks said grandly in their tragic phrase, Let no one be called happy till his death; to which I would add, Let no one, till his death be called unhappy.

Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

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

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

10.

Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.

O'Malley, Austin

11.

Personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a checklist of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications are not your life.

J.K. Rowling

12.

Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world.

Beckett, Samuel

13.

There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means -- either may do -- the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.

Franklin, Benjamin

14.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

Waitley, Denis

15.

Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.

Meltzer, Bernard

16.

Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.

Christopher Morley

17.

True happiness is the full use of your powers along lines of excellence in a life affording scope.

Kennedy, John F.

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.

There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.

Brande, Dorothea

20.

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

21.

Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the manner we appreciate the one and the other, and the choice we make pursuant to our individual organization.

Sade, Marquis De

22.

Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.

Feather, William

23.

It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.

Cervantes, Miguel De

24.

Where one is wise two are happy.

Proverb

25.

The world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected, and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an additional weight of calumny will be super added.

Johnson, Samuel

26.

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

Apollinaire, Guillaume

27.

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

28.

There is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness.

Proverb, Spanish

29.

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

30.

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

31.

After what we can say you can be sure the happy heart will make the happy day.

32.

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.

33.

Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember.

Oscar Levant

34.

Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.

Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

35.

Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.

Alcott, Louisa May

36.

Happiness must be cultivated. It is like character. It is not a thing to be safely let alone for a moment, or it will run to weeds.

Phelps, Elizabeth Stuart

37.

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

Yeats, William Butler

38.

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

Rubinstein, Arthur

39.

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

Robert Frost

40.

We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.

Yeats, William Butler

41.

Happiness is a hard thing because it is achieved only by making others happy.

Cloete, Stuart

42.

Happiness is perfume, you can't pour it on somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself

Zee, James Van Der

43.

Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.

Epictetus

44.

Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor.

If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing Double Dahlias in his garden.
