Happiness in the ordinary sense is not what one needs in life, though one is right to aim at it. The true satisfaction is to come through and see those whom one loves come through.
- quote by E. M. Forster
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. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.
- quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Happiness is a good flow of life.
- quote by Zeno of Citium
Happiness is neither within us nor without us, it is the union of ourselves with God.
- quote by Blaise Pascal
Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.
- quote by Aldous Huxley
- quote by Dinah Craik
Happiness is not perfected until it is shared.
- quote by Jane Porter
Happiness is not the end of duty, it is a constituent of it. It is in it and of it; not an equivalent, but an element.
- quote by Henry Giles
Happiness is possible only in a relationship with a partner. Imagine that some fellow who has lived his life as a singer goes to an uninhabited island and sings as loudly as possible. If there is no one there to hear him, he will not be happy. To realize that we exist for the sake of others is the great achievement that changes our lives. When we realize that our life is not ours alone but is meant to be for the sake of the other, we begin to follow a path different from the one we were on. Just as singing to yourself will not make you happy, there is no joy without a partner. Even the smallest and most trivial thing can bring you happiness when you do it for another.
- quote by Sun Myung Moon
Happiness is surely the best teacher of good manners: only the unhappy are churlish in deportment.
- quote by Christopher Morley
