Best Quotes about Happiness
Suspicion of happiness is in our blood.
Lucas, E. V.
Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly.
Russell, Bertrand
It is kind of happiness to know to what extent we may be unhappy.
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
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
Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
Solon
To describe happiness is to diminish it.
Stendhal, Henri B.
Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
Santayana, George
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Aurelius, Marcus
Happiness is an agreeable sensation, arising from contemplating the misery of others.
Bierce, Ambrose
Most of us experience happiness when we are enjoying life and feeling free, enjoying the process and products of our creative and intellectual processes, enjoying the ecstasy of transcendent oneness with the universe.
Muriel, James
We take greater pains to persuade others we are happy than in trying to think so ourselves.
Confucius
To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin.
Byron, Lord
Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.
Barthel, Mildred
All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Joy comes from using your potential.
Schultz, Will
There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.
Brande, Dorothea
A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
Solzhenitsyn, Alexander
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
Chalmers, Allan K.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
Roy M. Goodman
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus
Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
Ingersoll, Robert Green
The journey to happiness involves finding the courage to go down into ourselves and take responsibility for what's there: all of it.
Rohr, Richard
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Bergson, Henri L.
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
Where one is wise two are happy.
Proverb
Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!
Bradley, Amanda
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
Call no man unhappy until he is married.
Socrates
If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a month -- get married. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else.
Proverb, Chinese
In theory there is a possibility of perfect happiness: To believe in the indestructible element within one, and not to strive towards it.
Kafka, Franz
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.
Chuang Tzu
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
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.
Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in stranger's gardens.
Jerrold, Douglas William
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Dumas, Alexandre
The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.
Jeans, Sir James
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Frank, Anne
The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is love, laughter, and work.
Hubbard, Elbert
We all want to be happy, and we're all going to die. You might say those are the only two unchallengeably true facts that apply to every human being on this planet.
Boyd, William
The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.
C. P. Snow
Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin.
Lubbock, Sir John
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 consists in activity -- it is a running stream, not a stagnant pool.
Mason, John L.
The attitude of unhappiness is not only painful, it is mean and ugly. What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it may have been engendered? What is more injurious to others? What less helpful as a way out of the difficulty? It but fastens and perpetuates the trouble which occasioned it, and increases the total evil of the situation. At all costs, then, we ought to reduce the sway of that mood; we ought to scout it in ourselves and others, and never show it tolerance.
James, William
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
Robertson Davies
Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.
Prevert, Jacques
If you're ever given the choice between happiness and intelligence choose happiness
Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
