10 POWERFUL QUOTES ABOUT HAPPINESS

1. “Don't let your happiness depend on something you may lose.” - C.S. Lewis

2. "If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have." - Joel Osteen

3. "Happy girls are the prettiest." - Audrey Hepburn

4. "Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be." - Abraham Lincoln

5. “It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.” - L.M. Montgomery

6. “Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.” - Mother Teresa

7. “It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald

8. “Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.” - Martin Luther King Jr

9. “I don’t think then of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains. This is one of the things that Mummy and I are so entirely different about. Her counsel when one feels melancholy is: ‘Think of all the misery in the world and be thankful that you are not sharing it!’ My advice is: ‘Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that’s still left in and around you and be happy!’

     I don’t see how Mummy’s idea can be right, because then how are you supposed to behave if you are going through the misery yourself? Then you are lost. On the contrary, I’ve found that there is always some beauty left - in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance.

     And whoever is happy, will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!” - Anne Frank

10. “The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” - Oprah Winfrey
