Quotations by Subject: Happiness (72 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
You can choose to be happy or sad and whichever you choose that is what you get. No one is really responsible to make someone else happy, no matter what most people have been taught and accept as true.: Sidney Madwed
Happy is he who has laid up in his youth, and held fast in all fortune, a genuine and passionate love of reading.: Rufus Choate
It is the great privilege of poverty to be happy and yet unenvied, to be healthy with physic, secure without a guard, and to obtain from the bounty of nature what the great and wealthy are compelled to procure by the help of art.: Johnson
Peace is the happy, natural state of man; war corruption, his disgrace.: Thomason
Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it; "Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith.": Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.: Edmund Spenser (1552 - 1599)
To see a man fearless in dangers. untainted with lusts, happy in adversity, composed in a tumult, and laughing at all those things which are generally either coveted or feared, all men must acknowledge that this can be from nothing else but a beam of divinity that influences a mortal body.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Americans become unhappy and vicious because their preoccupation with amassing possessions obliterates their loneliness. This is why production in America seems to be on such an endless upward spiral: every time we buy something we deepen our emotional deprivation and hence our need to buy something.: Philip Saltier
How small a portion of our life it is that we really enjoy! In youth we are looking forward to things that are to come; in old age we are looking backward to things that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more occupied in things that are present, yet even that is too often absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day when we have time.: C. C. Colton
