Your Favourite Happiness Quotes

Clare Josa, Research & Training Director

We were chatting on the How To Feel Happier sofa about happiness quotes the other day.

And it got us wondering: what are your favourite happiness quotes?

Are there particular quotes that lift your spirits or just generally make you feel happy, when you think of them?

Or perhaps there are funny things that friends and family have said, that make you feel happier?

Here are some of ours favourites, to get you started:

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.

Buddha

The basic thing that everyone wants is happiness; no one wants suffering. Happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile environment, you feel happy.

HH Dalai Lama

The truest greatness lies in being kind; the truest wisdom in a happy mind.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
