Happiness Quotes
-
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, it's not a destination.
Cecelia Ahern
-
Happiness is being married to your best friend.
Barbara Weeks
-
This is what happiness is, past the rubbish of its overuse as a word, past the cracked gloss of the letters that mean nothing when strung together. They mean something now, and I know what it’s like when you and someone else are right together. How simple it is, and how amazing.
Elizabeth Scott
-
The world is crammed with delightful things. I think young people make such a mistake about that - not letting themselves be happy. I sometimes think that happiness is the only thing that counts.
Nikki Gemmell
-
Excitement is the more practical synonym for happiness, and it is precisely what you should strive to chase. It is the cure-all. When people suggest you follow your "passion" or your "bliss," I propose that they are, in fact, referring to the same singular concept: excitement. This brings us full circle. The question you should be asking isn't, "What do I want?" or "What are my goals?" but "What would excite me?"
Tim Ferriss
-
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
Helen Keller
-
God dislikes evil, and no happiness can be built on hate. Love one another as brothers.
Josephine Baker
-
She thought of Jonah and regretted that she hadn’t really forgiven him as she’d promised. Holding a grudge suddenly seemed so contrary to her own happiness, so pointless. What good was it? No good, because it kept them apart. She wished she could tell him she was finally ready to start over and make it work, to forgive Adriana, as well.
Brenda Novak
-
Independence is happiness.
Susan B. Anthony
-
It is the personality of the mistress that the home expresses. Men are forever guests in our homes, no matter how much happiness they may find there.
Elsie de Wolfe
-
Basing our happiness on our ability to control everything is futile.
Stephen Covey
-
A husband and wife who have separate bedrooms have either drifted apart or found happiness.
Honore de Balzac
-
But does not happiness come from the soul within?
Honore de Balzac
-
Such is the nature of the marriage relation that a breach once made cannot be healed, and it is the height of folly to waste one's life in vain efforts to make a binary compound of two diverse elements. What would we think of the chemist who should sit twenty years trying to mix oil and water, and insist upon it that his happiness depended upon the result of the experiment?
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
-
Happiness hates the timid. So does science.
Eugene O'Neill
-
Happiness is the true beauty weapon.
Susan Sarandon
-
Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.
Jane Austen
-
Have you known what it is to give your meal to another and to go without yourself? It gives a happiness that no dinner eaten by yourself can give. Have you known what it is to give your coat to another and do without it yourself? It gives a joy that the satisfaction of your own wants cannot give you.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
-
Christmas really is about all the cliches: health, happiness and love. A future with my family is the important thing... to stay alive for them.
Sylvie Meis
-
I wish that every Latter-day Saint could say and mean it with all his heart: 'I'll go where you want me to go. I'll say what you want me to say. I'll be what you want me to be'. If we could do that, we would be assured of the maximum happiness here and exaltation in the celestial kingdom of God hereafter.
Ezra Taft Benson
-
No one goes straight to happiness after a breakup.
Estelle
-
She long ago accepted the fact that happiness is like, swallows in spring. It may come and nest under your eaves or it may not. You cannot command it.
Elizabeth Goudge
-
We women take love too seriously. Men wish to be loved with laughter, not with sighing. So laugh, sweetheart, laugh, or soon you may be weeping.
Minna Antrim
-
Once again...welcome to my house. Come freely. Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you bring.
Bram Stoker
