If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life.
Abraham Maslow
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
Aristotle
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Aristotle
The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it’s all that matters.
Audrey Hepburn
Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.
Ayn Rand
Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us, there’s always something we could be grateful for.
Barry Neil Kaufman
Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.
Benjamin Franklin
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 year ? inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime ? help someone else.
Chinese Proverb
They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.
Confucius
What is the meaning of life? To be happy and useful.
Dalai Lama
We begin from the recognition that all beings cherish happiness and do not want suffering. It then becomes both morally wrong and pragmatically unwise to pursue only one’s own happiness oblivious to the feelings and aspirations of all others who surround us as members of the same human family. The wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness.
Dalai Lama
Milk is the symbol of the first aspect of love, that of care and affirmation. Honey symbolizes the sweetness of life, the love for it and the happiness in being alive. Most mothers are capable of giving “milk”, but only a minority of giving “honey” too. In order to be able to give honey, a mother must not only be a “good mother”, but a happy person.
Erich Fromm
Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn’t calculate his happiness.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
No medicine cures what happiness cannot.
Gabriel García Márquez
Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
George Santayana
Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
Guillaume Apollinaire
How would you know what happy is if you’ve never been otherwise.
Malcolm S. Forbes
Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.
Margaret Lee Runbeck
No man is happy who does not think himself so.
Publilius Syrus
Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
Thomas Jefferson
