Happiness Quotes
-
Trust firmly in your luck, cling to your happiness, and dare to take risks.
Rene Char
-
Let's face it: Sadness and evil are always more believable than happiness and love. When a movie reviewer calls a film "realistic," everyone knows what that means – it means the movie has an unhappy ending.
Chuck Klosterman
-
That’s how stories happen — with a turning point, an unexpected twist. There’s only one kind of happiness, but misfortune comes in all shapes and sizes. It’s like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.
Haruki Murakami
-
The greatest happiness for the thinking person is to have explored the explorable and to venerate in equanimity that which cannotbe explored.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
It's such a happiness when good people get together.
Jane Austen
-
Regarding mutual tolerance: It is negative in one sense, but positive in another. It absolutely forbids us to be forward in pronouncing on the meaninglessness of forms of existence other than our own; and it commands us to tolerate, respect, and indulge those whom we see harmlessly interested and happy in their own ways, however unintelligible these may be to us. Hands off.
William James
-
Happiness is an enemy. It weakens you. Suddenly, you have something to lose.
Andreas Nikolaus "Niki" Lauda
-
Looking back, the way I see it, there was something slightly deluded about my belief - what that meant to me - but with that delusion came of lot of happiness. Life was really black and white: if you do these things now, God will you invite you to his house where you will love forever and everything will be happy forever. That's what I believed, and that makes life pretty sweet. I do miss it.
Michaela Ewuraba Boakye-Collinson
-
The Greatest Happiness is to scatter your enemy and drive him before you. To see his cities reduced to ashes. To see those who love him shrouded and in tears. And to gather to your bosom his wives and daughters.
Genghis Khan
-
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Alexandre Dumas
-
Pleasure may come from illusion, but happiness can come only of reality.
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas
-
Love It, is to increase by forgetting. It's escape through a single being to mediocrity of all other. It's one more for trying to be less. It's become like everyone else in the belief that we become as a person. It is giving appointment to happiness in the palace of chance.
Abel Bonnard
-
Happiness was born a twin.
Lord Byron
-
If I have to go somewhere else, a lot of things are going to have to be changed or you're going to have an unhappy player, If I'm not happy, you don't want me on your team. It's that simple. I'll make that known to anybody.
Gary Sheffield
-
Happiness is something you take with you. It's not something that you find.
Katrina Mayer
-
They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.
Confucius
-
Happiness isn't about getting what you want all the time; it's about loving what you have.
Asher Roth
-
The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.
Ursula K. Le Guin
-
For me, however, that beloved, glowing little word happiness has become associated with everything I have felt since childhood upon hearing the sound of the word itself.
Hermann Hesse
-
Collectively, we have all it takes to create a just and peaceful world, but we must work together and share our talents. We all need one another to find happiness within ourselves and within the world.
Craig Kielburger
-
I think we need to not look at sorrow and happiness as opposites that cannot co-exist. They can and do co-exist. I have preached many memorial services where you see the sadness and the tears for those attending, and then you see how quick people are to laugh as they remember funny and happy things about their loved ones. And if the deceased knew Christ, those in attendance are able to rejoice as they anticipate the reunion that will one day come.
Randy Alcorn
-
We must stitch up what has been torn apart, render justice imaginable in the world which is so obviously unjust, make happiness meaningful for nations poisoned by the misery of this century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But tasks are called superhuman when men take a long time to complete them, that is all.
Albert Camus
-
Happiness isn't a state, it's a skill. It's the skill of knowing how to take what life throws your way and make the most of it.
Gary Null
-
It's usually a spiritual thing that's preventing somebody from having happiness.
Sandra Bernhard
