Happy Quotes About Happiness
Who can’t use a little bit more happiness at any given moment? It’s not like you can ever have too much! As Ashleigh Brilliant said: “Just because I’m happy doesn’t mean you couldn’t make me happier”.
Here are more of my favorite quotes about happiness:
“A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour.”
Unknown
“Happiness is usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.”
Thomas Szasz
“People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy.”

“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.”
James Oppenheim
“When we are happy, we smile. What is the purpose of that unless it is to spread it?”
James Fowler, UC San Diego

“Happiness, it seems to me, consists of two things: first, in being where you belong, and second — and best — in comfortably going through everyday life, that is, having had a good night’s sleep and not being hurt by new shoes.”
Theodor Fontane
“The main thing is to have a good time and enjoy life.”
Peter Christgau (Danish business man, commenting on the fact that Danes, according to several studies, are the happiest people in the world)

Pizza with sausage
Telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Knowing a secret
Climbing a tree
Happiness is five different crayons
Catching a firefly
Setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again
Happiness is morning and evening,
Day time and night time too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you
Happiness is having a sister
Sharing a sandwich
Getting along
Happiness is singing together when day is through,
And happiness is those who sing with you
Happiness is morning and evening,
Daytime and nighttime too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you
