Happiness Quotes
Happiness is the greatest hiding place for despair.
Soren Kierkegaard
Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Oscar Wilde

Vernon Howard
True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.
Seneca the Younger
Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.
Aristotle
Altruism raises your mood because it raises your self-esteem, which increases happiness. Plus, giving to others gets you outside of yourself and distracts you from your problems.
Karen Salmansohn
You need characters who want things. They want love, they want recognition, they want happiness.
Candace Bushnell
Happiness is only attained by the free will agreeing in its freedom to accord with the will of God.
Sabine Baring-Gould
I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.
Franz Kafka
All rationalism tends to minimalise the value and the importance of life and to decrease the sum total of human happiness.
H. P. Lovecraft
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.
Oswald Chambers
