Quotes about happiness

Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.

Buddha

Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can’t let our circumstances or what others do or don’t do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.

Joyce Meyer

A fool is ‘happy’ when his cravings are satisfied. A warrior is happy without reason. That’s what makes happiness the ultimate discipline.

Dan Millman

The really happy woman is the one who can enjoy the scenery when she has to take a detour. Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but rather a manner of traveling.

Samuel Johnson

Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.

14th Dalai Lama

God wants to use you to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier you will be because you reap what you sow.

Joyce Meyer

Happiness follows sorrow, sorrow follows happiness, but when one no longer discriminates happiness and sorrow, a good deal and a bad deed, one is able to realize freedom.

Buddha

Happiness begins with impeccability of the word. The way to measure the impeccability of my word is to ask, ‘Am I happy or am I suffering?’ If I’m suffering, then I’m not being impeccable with my word.

Don Miguel Ruiz

Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly.

Leo Tolstoy

Happy are those who have overcome their egos; happy are those who have attained peace; happy are those who have found the truth.

Buddha
