Happiness Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Happiness

1.
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

2.
My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.
Ketchel, Holly

3.
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

4.
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

5.
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus

6.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
Roy M. Goodman

7.
Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be taken in small doses.
Baker, Russell (Wayne)

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin

14.
When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

15.
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

16.
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''

17.
Sir, that all who are happy, are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness.
Johnson, Samuel

18.
I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure.
Lawana Blackwell

19.
There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.
Brande, Dorothea

20.
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Waitley, Denis

21.
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost

22.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Russell, Bertrand

23.
That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.
Waitley, Denis

24.
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.

25.
Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.
Jefferson, Thomas

26.
Happiness lies in being privileged to work hard for long hours in doing whatever you think is worth doing. One man may find happiness in supporting a wife and children. Another may find it in robbing banks. Still another may labor mightily for years in pursuing pure research with no discernible result. Note the individual and subjective nature of each case. No two are alike and there is no reason to expect them to be. Each man or woman must find for himself or herself that occupation in which hard work and long hours make him or her happy. Contrariwise, if you are looking for shorter hours and longer vacations and early retirement, you are in the wrong job. Perhaps you need to take up bank robbing. Or geeking in a sideshow. Or even politics.
Heinlein, Robert

27.
Happiness is not a possession to be prized. It is a quality of thought, a state of mind.
Maurier, Daphne Du

28.
We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

29.
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

30.
Not what you have, but what you see; Not what you see, but what you choose; Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what you dream, but what you do; Not what you take, but what you give; Not as you pray, but as you live. These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness.

31.
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

32.
People who never achieve happiness are the ones who complain whenever they're awake, and whenever they're asleep, they are thinking about what to complain about tomorrow.
Zimbler, Adam

33.
Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.
Chopra, Deepak

34.
Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.
Anderson, Greg

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.
Happiness is not pleasure, it is victory.
Ziglar, Zig

37.
There is something ridiculous and even quite indecent in an individual claiming to be happy. Still more a people or a nation making such a claim. The pursuit of happiness... is without any question the most fatuous which could possibly be undertaken. This lamentable phrase the pursuit of happiness is responsible for a good part of the ills and miseries of the modern world.
Muggeridge, Malcolm

38.
The happy think a lifetime short, but to the unhappy one night can be an eternity.
Lucian

39.
IÆve decided that the key to happiness is low expectations.
Laura Moncur

40.
And isn't that, at it's core, what the princess fantasy is about for all of us? "Princess" is how we tell little girls that they are special, precious. "Princess" is the wish that we could protect them from pain, that they would never know sorrow, that they will live happily ever after ensconces in lace and innocence.
Peggy Orenstein

41.
What would you call the highest happiness? Wratislaw was ask. The sense of competence, was the answer, given without hesitation.
Buchan, John

42.
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis

43.
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George

44.
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us so live as to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.

45.
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
Barrie, Sir James M.

46.
The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.

47.
Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember.
Oscar Levant

48.
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

49.
To be happy is not the purpose of our being rather it is to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.

50.
Happiness adds and multiplies, as we divide it with others.
Nielsen, A.
