Quote by -John Ruskin

Quote by -John Ruskin
"Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another."
Quote by -Ambrose Bierce

Quote by -Henry Ford

Quote by -Henry Ford
"There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something."
Quote by -Henry Ford

Quote by -Thomas Paine
"It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe."
Quote by -Thomas Paine
"I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today."
Quote by -Carol Burnett
"Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude"
Quote by -Dale Carnegie
"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime."
Quote by -Dale Carnegie
"Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours"
Quote by -Dale Carnegie
"Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much happiness out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date."
Quote by -Dale Carnegie
"My mom always told me one of the reasons that she was really happy in her life was that, if Dad never worked again, she was confident that she could support the family."
Quote by -Bryce Dallas
“The great source of both the misery and disorders of human life, seems to arise from over-rating the difference between one permanent situation and another. Avarice over-rates the difference between poverty and riches: ambition, that between a private and a public station: vain-glory, that between obscurity and extensive reputation. The person under the influence of any of those extravagant passions, is not only miserable in his actual situation, but is often disposed to disturb the peace of society, in order to arrive at that which he so foolishly admires. The slightest observation, however, might satisfy him, that, in all the ordinary situations of human life, a well-disposed mind may be equally calm, equally cheerful, and equally contented. Some of those situations may, no doubt, deserve to be preferred to others: but none of them can deserve to be pursued with that passionate ardour which drives us to violate the rules either of prudence or of justice; or to corrupt the future tranquillity of our minds, either by shame from the remembrance of our own folly, or by remorse from the horror of our own injustice.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“No society can surely be flourishing and happy of which by far the greater part of the numbers are poor and miserable. ”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Hatred and anger are the greatest poison to the happiness of a good mind. There is, in the very feeling of those passions, something harsh, jarring, and convulsive, something that tears and distracts the breast, and is altogether destructive of that composure and tranquillity of mind which is so necessary to happiness, and which is best promoted by the contrary passions of gratitude and love.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“Always stop to think whether your fun may not be the cause of another’s unhappiness.”
Quote by -Aesop
“Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good.”
Quote by -Alexander Hamilton
“Happy it is when the interest which the government has in the preservation of its own power, coincides with a proper distribution of the public burthens, and tends to guard the least wealthy part of the community from oppression!”
Quote by -Alexander Hamilton
“A sandwich and a cup of coffee, and then off to violin-land, where all is sweetness and delicacy and harmony.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
The universe is conspiring in every moment to bring me happiness and peace.
Quote by -Marianne Williamson
It's never as easy to keep your own spouse happy as it is to make someone else's spouse happy.
Quote by -Zsa Zsa Gabor
Happiness is nothing but temporary moments here and there - and I love those. But I would be bored out of my mind if I were happy all the time.
Quote by -Zoe Saldana
The person who will give you unexplained happiness, will also be the reason for your unexplained sadness.
Quote by -Zayn Malik
Smile doesn't mean that someone is happy. Sometimes it just means that you're strong.
Quote by -Zayn Malik
For a long time I had not approached the forbidden fruit called happiness, but it was now tempting me with a melancholy persistence. I felt as though Sonoko were an abyss above which I stood poised.
Quote by -Yukio Mishima
It is a rather risky matter to discuss a happiness that has no need of words.
Quote by -Yukio Mishima
Most people are always doubtful as to whether they are happy or not, cheerful or not. This is the normal state of happiness, as doubt is a most natural thing.
Quote by -Yukio Mishima
It is not a bad thing to settle for the Little Way, not the big search for the big happiness but the sad little happiness of drinks and kisses, a good little car and a warm deep thigh.
Quote by -Walker Percy
Our image of happiness is indissolubly bound up with the image of redemption.
Quote by -Walter Benjamin
