Happiness Quotes - page 76

You may rejoice to think yourselves secure, You may be grateful for the gift divine, That grace unsought which made your black hearts pure And fits your earthborn souls in Heaven to shine. But is it sweet to look around and view Thousands excluded from that happiness, Which they deserve at least as much as you, Their faults not greater nor their virtues less? (Anne Brontë)
The greater the happiness that nature sets before me, the more I lament that he is not here to taste it: the greater the bliss we might enjoy together, the more I feel our present wretchedness apart. View quote
Anne Brontë
True happiness involves the full use of one's power and talents. View quote
John W. Gardner
I am deeply convinced that happiness does not exist in this world. View quote
Taylor Caldwell
All happiness comes from the desire for others to be happy. View quote
Shantideva
Bush is our fault. He's our fault because too many of us found it easier to hate him than find a way to love each other. If we work on the second thing a little harder, we won't need to rely on the cynics in the DLC to come up with the right "formula" the next time around. Because happiness and hope have a way of selling themselves. View quote
Matt Taibbi
Here where I lie is the hot pit Crowding on the mind with coal And the will turned against it Only drills new seams of darkness Through the dark-surrounding whole. Our vivid suns of happiness Withered from summer, drop their flowers; Hands of the longed, withheld tomorrow Fold on the hands of yesterday In double sorrow. View quote
Stephen Spender
The human heart desires joy. We all desire joy, every family, every people aspires to happiness. But what is the joy that the Christian is called to live out and bear witness to? It is the joy that comes from the closeness of God, from his presence in our life. From the moment Jesus entered into history, with his birth in Bethlehem, humanity received the seed of the Kingdom of God, like the soil receives the seed, the promise of a future harvest. View quote
Pope Francis
While I gave up God a long time ago, I never shook the habit of wanting to believe in something. So I replaced my creed of everlasting life with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. View quote
Sarah Vowell
The love of gardening is a seed that once sown never dies, but grows to the enduring happiness that the love of gardening gives. View quote
Gertrude Jekyll
The lesson I have thoroughly learnt, and wish to pass on to others, is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives. (Gertrude Jekyll)
Sunrise What is the name of the deep breath I would take over and over for all of us? Call it whatever you want, it is happiness, it is another one of the ways to enter fire. View quote
Mary Oliver
Hello, sun in my face. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields... Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness. View quote
Mary Oliver
Be mild, and cleave to gentle things, thy glory and thy happiness be there. View quote
William Wordsworth
No single thing is so important to every man as to have for neighbors intelligent, companionable persons. There is nothing, therefore, which the nation can do for him that will enhance so much his own happiness as to educate his neighbors. View quote
Edward Bellamy
All strangers love her, will always find her fair, Because such elegance, such happiness, Will not be found in any town but this: Paris is beyond compare. View quote
Eustache Deschamps
We're all alive, but we don't know why or what for; we're all searching for happiness; we're all leading lives that are different and yet the same. View quote
Anne Frank
Books remained as in the eighteenth century, the source of life, and as they came out - Thackeray, Dickens, Bulwer, Tennyson, Macaulay, Carlyle, and the rest - they were devoured; but as far as happiness went, the happiest hours of the boy's education were passed in summer lying on a musty heap of Congressional Documents in the old farmhouse at Quincy, reading "Quentin Durward," "Ivanhoe," and "The Talisman," and raiding the garden at intervals for peaches and pears. On the whole he learned most then. View quote
Henry Adams
Do not leave Japa and Sadhana even for a day. Adjust and adapt. Bear insult and injury. Learn to forget trifles. Tactfully move with people. Train everyone in Bhajan and Kirtan. Create spiritual vibrations wherever you go. Then you will find peace, joy, happiness and prosperity. There will be joy in all faces. This is the way for harmony. When you are agitated and irritated, take to Japa or leave the place for some time. Love all and serve all. View quote
Swami Sivananda
Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little. View quote
Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington
If a man has no humaneness what can his propriety be like? If a man has no humaneness what can his happiness be like? (Confucius)
[A]ssuming that the observable universe is void of extraterrestrial civilizations, then what hangs in the balance is at least 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 human lives (though the true number is probably larger). If we represent all the happiness experienced during one entire such life with a single teardrop of joy, then the happiness of these souls could fill and refill the Earth's oceans every second, and keep doing so for a hundred billion billion millennia. It is really important that we make sure these truly are tears of joy. View quote
Nick Bostrom
I do not think that we have a "right” to happiness. If happiness happens, say thanks. View quote
Marlene Dietrich
All he knew was that you couldn't hope to try for the big stuff, like world peace and happiness, but you might just about be able to achieve some tiny deed that'd make the world, in a small way, a better place. Like shooting someone. View quote
Terry Pratchett
Money doesn't buy happiness, Gytha." "I only wanted to rent it for a few weeks! View quote
Terry Pratchett
