Quotes matching 'Happiness':



Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

~ Helen Keller Quotes

Famous Quotes on: Wisdom, Happiness




Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is life.

~ Sanskrit Poem Quotes

Inspirational Quotes on: Action, The Moment, Life, Happiness, Dream




"Fame or integrity: which is more important? Money or happiness: which is more valuable? Success or failure: which is more destructive? If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."

~ Lao-tzu Quotes from Tao Te Ching

Motivational Quotes on: Attitude, Appreciation, Success, Happiness, Fame, Integrity, Failure, Money, Fulfillment, Happy




Storybook happiness involves every form of pleasant thumb-twiddling; true happiness involves the full use of one's powers and talents.

~ John W. Gardner Quotes

Self-Development Quotes on: Wisdom, Happiness, Talent, Power




The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.

~ Virginia Woolf Quotes

Famous Quotes on: Love, Life, Happiness




"Again and again I therefore admonish my students in Europe and America: Don't aim at success -- the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run -- in the long-run, I say! -- success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it."

~ Viktor Frankl Quotes from Man's Search for Meaning

Inspirational Quotes on: Goals, Success, Happiness, Knowledge, Student




I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.

~ Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt Quotes

Motivational Quotes on: Attitude, Life, Happiness




"From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received."

~ Albert Einstein Quotes

Self-Development Quotes on: Love, Life, Happiness




"At last, psychology gets serious about glee, fun, and happiness. Martin Seligman has given us a gift--a practical map for the perennial quest for a flourishing life."

~ Daniel Goleman, author of "Emotional Intelligence," commenting on "Authentic Happiness" by Martin Seligman

~ Daniel Goleman Quotes

Famous Quotes on: Wisdom, Happiness, Life, Motion




A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.

~ Seneca Quotes from Letters from a Stoic

Inspirational Quotes on: Wisdom, Character, Happiness, Guarantee




Philosophy takes as her aim the state of happiness…she shows us what are real and what are only apparent evils. She strips men's minds of empty thinking, bestows a greatness that is solid and administers a check to greatness where it is puffed up and all an empty show; she sees that we are left no doubt about the difference between what is great and what is bloated.

~ Seneca Quotes from Letters from a Stoic

Motivational Quotes on: Wisdom, Philosopher, Happiness, Doubt




The thirst after happiness is never extinguished in the heart of a man.

~ Jean Jacques Rousseau Quotes

Self-Development Quotes on: Goals, Happiness




Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy.

~ Gretta Brooker Palmer Quotes

Famous Quotes on: Love, Happiness, Effort, Happy




Don't help me or serve me, but let me see it once, because I need it. Don't work for my happiness, my brothers—show me yours—show me that it is possible—show me your achievement—and the knowledge will give me the courage for mine. Mallory (the young artist) to Roark in "The Fountainhead"

~ Ayn Rand Quotes

Inspirational Quotes on: Vision, Purpose, Happiness, Knowledge, Achieve, Serve




"This is the manner of noble souls: they do not want to have anything for nothing; least of all, life. Whoever is of the mob wants to live for nothing; we others, however, to whom life gave itself, we always think about what we might best give in return...

One should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy."

~ Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes from Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None

Motivational Quotes on: Wisdom, Happiness, Joy, Life




Money really cannot buy happiness.

~ New York Times Quotes

Self-Development Quotes on: Wisdom, Happiness, Money




You've got to ask. Asking is, in my opinion, the world's most powerful and neglected secret to success and happiness.

~ Percy Ross Quotes

You've got to ask! Asking is, in my opinion, the world's most powerful--and neglected--secret to success and happiness.

It is essential to his happiness that he should continually advance.

~ Wallace D. Wattles Quotes from The Science of Being Great

Motivational Quotes on: Happiness, Great




I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.

~ The Dalai Lama Quotes

Seeing God without seeing the Self, one sees only mental image. Only he who has seen Himself has seen God, since he has lost individuality, and now sees nothing but God.
