Happiness Quotes

“Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.”

“The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.”

“Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.”

“The best things in life aren't things.”

“The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.”

“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

“Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.”

“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

“There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.”

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”

“To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.”

“Not every sky will be blue and not every day is springtime. So on the spiritual path a person learns to find this kind of happiness without needing nice things to happen on the outside. Rather, you find happiness by being who you really are. This isn't mystical. Young children are happy being who they are. The trick is to regain such a state when you are grown and have seen the light and dark sides of life.”

“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.”

“It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.”

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.”

“A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.”

“Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you.”

“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.”

“If you don't enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are you're not going to be happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn't going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.”
