Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
The secret of happiness and prosperity in this world, as in the world to come, lies in thinking of the welfare of others first, and not taking one's self too seriously.
Kindleberger, J.

2.
I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

3.
Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.
Barthel, Mildred

4.
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

5.
To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin.
Byron, Lord

6.
Happiness is a how, not a what: a talent, not an object
Hesse, Hermann

7.
There is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness.
Proverb, Spanish

8.
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
Koenig, Frederick

9.
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
Feather, William

10.
The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is love, laughter, and work.
Hubbard, Elbert

11.
Happiness is unrepentant pleasure.
Socrates

12.
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

13.
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Bergson, Henri L.

14.
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
Chambers, Oswald

15.
The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a new star.
Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

16.
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

17.
A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
Downs, Hugh

18.
Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

19.
Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world.
Beckett, Samuel

20.
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

21.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Jung, Carl

22.
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

23.
A person will be just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Lincoln, Abraham

24.
It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.
Cervantes, Miguel De

25.
All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good horse, and a good wife.
Boone, Daniel

26.
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Chuang Tzu

27.
No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.
Solon

28.
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus

29.
It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.
Bentham, Jeremy

30.
I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
Oprah Winfrey

31.
Work and live to serve others, to leave the world a little better than you found it and garner for yourself as much peace of mind as you can. This is happiness.
Sarnoff, David

32.
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

33.
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

34.
But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a person and life they lead.
Camus, Albert

35.
Men expect that religion should cost them no pains, that happiness should drop into their laps without any design and endeavor on their part, and that, after they have done what they please while they live, God should snatch them up to heaven when they die. But though the commandments of God be not grievous, yet it is fit to let men know that they are not thus easy.
Tillotson, John

36.
Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
Jonathan Haidt

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Happiness lies first of all in health.

Storm Jameson

43.
Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.
Chopra, Deepak

44.
Happiness requires problems
Hollingworth, H. L.

45.
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

46.
To be happy is not the purpose of our being rather it is to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.
