Happiness

Happiness comes most to persons who seek her least, and think least about it. It is not an object to be sought; it is a state to be induced. It must follow and not lead. It must overtake you, and not you overtake it.

John Burroughs (1837-1921)

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.

Storm Jameson (1891-)

Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.

Leo Rosten (1908-1997)

Happiness consists more in the small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

Theodore I. Rubin

Happiness hates the timid! So does science!

Eugene O'Neill

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained.

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864)

Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.

Arnold Bennett (1867-1931)

Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864)

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864)

Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.

Sam Levenson (1911-1980)

Happiness is a byproduct of an effort to make someone else happy
