"HAPPINESS" QUOTES

Man only likes to count his troubles, but does not count his joys.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky


Happiness belongs to those who are contented.


A happy life consists of tranquility of mind.


Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.


One is never as unhappy as one thinks, nor as happy as one hopes.


Happiness is different from pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing.
- George Sheehan

Happiness depends on what you can give, not what you can get - Mahatma Gandhi


Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony - Mahatma Gandhi


That action is best which procures the greatest happiness for the greatest numbers - Francis Huchinson


Happiness lies, first of all, in health - George William Curts


How wide the limits stand
Between a splendid and a happy land - Goldsmith

Now the heart is o full that a drop overfills it
We are happy now because God will it - J.R Lowell


Happiness belongs to the self-sufficient - Aristotle

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
