-Helen Adams Keller
"Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose."

If you do it a day too late."

"Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city."

"What is the best thing for a stream? It is to keep moving. If it stops, it stagnates. So the best thing for a man is that which keeps the currents going ? the physical, the moral, and the intellectual currents. Hence the secret of happiness is ? something to do; some congenial work. Take away the occupation of all men, and what a wretched world it would be!
Few persons realize how much of their happiness is dependent upon their work, upon the fact that they are kept busy and not left to feed upon themselves. 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. How important is health to happiness, yet the best promoter of health is something to do.
Blessed is the man who has some congenial work, some occupation in which he can put his heart, and which affords a complete outlet to all the forces there are in him."
-John Burroughs
"What is the worth of anything,
But for the happiness 'twill bring?"
-Richard Owen Cambridge
"But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?"
-Albert Camus

Quotes For Happiness 6

“Happiness comes when you believe in what you are doing,know what you are doing, and love what you are doing.”
- Brian Tracy
"Where, then, does happiness lie? In forgetfulness, not indulgence, of the self. In escape from sensual appetites, not in their satisfaction. We live in a dark, self-enclosed prison, which is all we see or know if our glance is fixed ever downward. To lift it upward, becoming aware of the wide, luminous universe outside ? this alone is happiness. At its highest level, such happiness is the ecstasy that mystics have inadequately described. At more humdrum levels, it is human love; the delights and beauties of our dear earth, its colors and shapes and sounds; the enchantment of understanding and laughing, and all other exercise of such faculties as we possess; the marvel of the meaning of everything, fitfully glimpsed, inadequately expounded, but ever present."
- Malcolm Muggeridge
"Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self."
- Jean Iris Murdoch

And that is to have either a clear conscience or none at all."

"Pleasure is not happiness. It has no more importance than a shadow following a man."
- Muhammad Ali
"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness."
- Woody Allen

Ten Spiritual Tonics

Stop worrying. Worry kills life.
Begin each day with a prayer. It will arm your soul.
Control appetite. Over-indulgence clogs body and mind.
Accept your limitations.
Don't envy. It wastes time and energy.
Have faith in people. Cynicism sours the disposition.
Find a hobby. It will relax your nerves.
Read a book a week to stimulate imagination and broaden your views.
Spend some time alone for the peace of solitude and silence.
Try to want what you have, instead of spending your strength trying to get what you want.

Abraham L. Feinberg
