Best Quotes about Happiness
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln
Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.
Christopher Morley
Happiness is perfume, you can't pour it on somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself
Zee, James Van Der
Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.
Millman, Dan
Happiness seems made to be shared.
Corneille, Pierre
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Nicole Kidman
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
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
O'Malley, Austin
To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin.
Byron, Lord
Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.
Bono, Edward De
It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
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 in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.
Horton, Doug
Happiness consists of three things; Someone to love, work to do, and a clear conscience.
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
Many people have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Keller, Helen
Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.
Prazlin, Duchess
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
Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.
Josh Billings
No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.
Tozer, A. W.
We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.
Landor, Walter Savage
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
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Aristotle
The world's literature and folklore are full of stories that point out how futile it can be to seek happiness. Rather, happiness is a blessing that comes to you as you go along; a treasure that you incidentally find.
Binstock, Louis
The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Like swimming, riding, writing, or playing golf, happiness can be learned.
Sokoloff, Boris
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
Storm Jameson
It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.
Waitley, Denis
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph
The hardest habit of all to break is the terrible habit of happiness.
Garrison, Theodosia
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
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
If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being, you'd be a game show host.
Heatter, Gabriel
Happiness is like a sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often as the rain of spring.
Proverb, Chinese
Happiness comes from... some curious adjustment to life.
Walpole, Sir Hugh
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
If you pursue happiness you never find it.
Snow, C(harles) P(ercy)
If we cannot live so as to be happy, let us so live as to deserve happiness.
Fichte, Johann G.
It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.
Kin Hubbard
Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower-Author Unknown People need your love the most when they appear to deserve it the least.
Harrigan, John
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 least live so as to deserve it.
Immanuel Hermann Fichte
Not only is there a right to be happy, there is a duty to be happy. So much sadness exists in the world that we are all under obligation to contribute as much joy as lies within our powers.
Bonnell, John S.
Happiness ain't a thing in itself --it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain't happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.
Twain, Mark
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
Man is the artificer of his own happiness.
Henry David Thoreau
