The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Happiness: We rarely feel it.
I would buy it, beg it, steal it,
Pay in coins of dripping blood
For this one transcendent good.
The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!
It's pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness. Poverty an' wealth have both failed.
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis.
Whoever is happy will make others happy, too.
Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination.
Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination.
Happiness is a Swedish sunset -- it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it.
The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.
The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
The world has to learn that the actual pleasure derived from material things is of rather low quality on the whole and less even in quantity than it looks to those who have not tried it.
Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.
There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else.
To fill the hour -- that is happiness.
People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.
Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Independence is happiness.
Happiness, it seems to me, consists of two things: first, in being where you belong, and second -- and best -- in comfortably going through everyday life, that is, having had a good night's sleep and not being hurt by new shoes.
