I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.

I used to worry a lot. I still worry a lot, but not about the things that I used to worry about because my younger self, I didn’t regret anything that I ever did… I was happy, and I was free, and I was living it up.

Cardi B

I was married to Margaret Joan Howe in 1940. Although not a scientist herself she has contributed more to my work than anyone else by providing a peaceful and happy home.

Jennie

I wrapped my Christmas presents early this year, but I used the wrong paper. See, the paper I used said ‘Happy Birthday’ on it. I didn’t want to waste it so I just wrote ‘Jesus’ on it.

Demetri Martin

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.

If a woman is confident, she believes in herself and is really happy from the inside, you’ll see that glow.

Pia Wurtzbach

Thich Nhat Hanh

If only we’d stop trying to be happy we’d have a pretty good time.

Edith Wharton

If someone decides they’re not going to be happy, it’s not your problem. You don’t have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into their self-pity.

Kurt Cobain

If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. You get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we chew every morsel of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy.

I’m a happy man, because I am successful in what I do, of course; but what makes me most happy is I have people around me that I love and who love me back. This, for me, is the most important thing. Nobody likes to be alone.

Novak Djokovic

I’m a lucky guy and I’m happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary.

Yogi Berra

I’m a pretty happy guy.

Post Malone

I’m a very outgoing person. I’m always happy, I’m one of those people who are always smiling. If somebody described me to somebody else, they’d say the kid with the curly hair with the big smile on his face. I get along with everybody.

I’m extremely happy that I could win the gold medal. It’s a special moment in my career.

Angelina Jolie

I’m happy to be alive, I’m happy to be who I am.

Michael Jackson

I’m happy to be on a winning team. My individual success, that lasts for a short period of time.

The fact that I contributed to planting our flag and moving music to my city, that’s what I’m most proud of.

I’m not a hoarder, I’m a collector: if you have something you like, every time you see it, you have a little happy hit.

Douglas Coupland

I’m not a stereotypically beautiful woman, and I’m so happy that I’m not. I’ve seen those ladies – the need to be attractive at all times is ghastly. Also, in your twenties, if you are beautiful, everything comes to you, so you never need to develop a personality. I never had that problem.

I’m proud to play for Real Madrid because I have fun; when you no longer have fun it’s a sign that it’s time to leave. For now though, I’m happy here at the greatest club in the world.

Orlando Bloom

I’m the type who’d be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn’t going to. I’m the type who’d like to sit home and watch every party that I’m invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.

Andy Warhol

I’m very comfortable in my skin. Everyone has insecurities – I joke around about wishing I had more cheeks – but I’m happy with who I am. You have to make do with what you have. If you carry yourself right, you can make anything look good.

I’m very happy alone.

Octavia E. Butler

I’m very happy being me, although sometimes I’d love to be a bird so that I could fly.

Joy Fielding

I’m very very happy for my hardships and misfortunes: they build character and make you a better person.

Jens Lekman

In a happy marriage it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape.

In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word.

Walt Whitman

In the end, you’re trying to find God. That’s the result of not being satisfied.

And unfortunately, you can never gain perfect happiness unless you’ve got that state of consciousness that enables that.

Sherlyn Chopra

Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.

Saint Augustine

Information helps you to see that you’re not alone. That there’s somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who all have wept, who’ve all longed and lost, who’ve all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you’re not really any different from everyone else.

Maya Angelou

Instead, I have an abundance mentality: When people are genuinely happy at the successes of others, the pie gets larger.

Stephen Covey

Intimacy is not a happy medium. It is a way of being in which the tension between distance and closeness is dissolved and a new horizon appears. Intimacy is beyond fear.

Martin Garrix

It feels really grateful, thankful, and happy when your work is appreciated.

Vikrant Massey

It is really rare to find someone you really, really love and that you want to spend your life with and all that stuff that goes along with being married. I am one of those lucky people. And I think she feels that way too. So the romantic stuff is easy because you want them to be happy.

Harry Connick, Jr.

It is the harmony of the diverse parts, their symmetry, their happy balance; in a word it is all that introduces order, all that gives unity, that permits us to see clearly and to comprehend at once both the ensemble and the details.

Henri Poincare

It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.

John D. Rockefeller

It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

Dale Carnegie

It takes very little effort to make someone happy.

It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we’d given customers what they said they wanted, we’d have built a computer they’d have been happy with a year after we spoke to them – not something they’d want now.

Steve Jobs

It was a time when only the dead smiled, happy in their peace.

It would be my guess that Madonna is not a very happy woman. From my own experience, having gone through persona changes like that, that kind of clawing need to be the center of attention is not a pleasant place to be.

It’s a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.

Lucille Ball

It’s all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.

Maria Sharapova

It’s just the risk that I take and the sacrifice that I make: Putting myself, my career, my family’s peace of mind on the line just to do right by my fans. It ain’t no gray area: You’re either with that and willing to go out of your way to make people who contribute to your dreams coming true happy or you aren’t.

DaBaby

It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.

Berkeley Breathed

It’s so important for people to have a space that they love, and that you wake up happy every morning in your house. A big part of that is what you have for your furniture, your art, your decor.

Drew Scott

I’ve always been misrepresented. You know, I could dress in a clown costume and laugh with the happy people but they’d still say I’m a dark personality.

Tim Burton

I’ve discovered if you have a small circle of people you know you can rely on – in good times, bad times, happy times, sad times – who aren’t going to judge you and will, sometimes, just sit and listen to you without saying anything, then I think you’re very fortunate.

Shirley Ballas

I’ve found that when the market’s going down and you buy funds wisely, at some point in the future you will be happy. You won’t get there by reading ‘Now is the time to buy.’

Peter Lynch

I’ve realized through the years that I just find happiness in other things, whether it’s my dogs or my friends or, like, looking at the sunset. So if I were to wish for something else, it would just to be happy all the time, to have a superpower of not letting things affect me, and to be true to who I am, always.

Kylie Jenner

I’ve wrestled with reality for 35 years, and I’m happy, Doctor, I finally won out over it.

Calum Scott

Just like other ordinary people, I want to have a happy family.

Lee Byung-hun

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

Earl Nightingale

Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. You’re not suddenly more happy, wealthy, or powerful, but you understand the world around you better, and you’re at peace with yourself. Learning life’s lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be.

Elisabeth Kubler

Less make

up is better, and it’s always better to let your natural beauty shine. Essentially, be happy with your appearance.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Love yourself for who you are, and trust me, if you are happy from within, you are the most beautiful person, and your smile is your best asset.

Lauren Gibbs

Stephen Graham

My dad came over from Ireland when he was 13 and lived on the streets, working on building sites, and has just retired from his job delivering furniture for John Lewis.

My younger son, Cordell, aka Lil Snoop, loves me like a fan loves Snoop Dogg. He’s inspired by making me happy. My older son, Corde, aka Spank, does everything I say, with effort and determination – but he does it for himself. He gets his thrill out of seeing his own results on the football field.

Snoop Dogg

Never continue in a job you don’t enjoy. If you’re happy in what you’re doing, you’ll like yourself, you’ll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.

Johnny Carson

No burden is so heavy for a man to bear as a succession of happy days.

Nick Vujicic

Okay, I am happy with the way I look, but I have never, never, ever thought of myself as a ‘pretty girl.’ Honestly. When I read some of these scripts I’m sent, and they describe the heroine as ‘incredibly beautiful,’ I wonder why they sent it to me.

Anna Kendrick

Once you have a product that you are happy with, you the need to centralize things to continue growth.

Mark Zuckerberg

Sharon Draper

Performing live actually thrills me. Just get me a stage, get me a mic, and I’m going to be happy.

Socialism violates at least three of the Ten Commandments: It turns government into God, it legalizes thievery and it elevates covetousness.

Ben Shapiro

Sometimes I am happy and sometimes not. I am, after all, a human being, you know. And I am glad that we are sometimes happy and sometimes not. You get your wisdom working by having different emotions.

Manoj Bajpayee

Success is not defined by money or status, necessarily, but by how many people you’ve impacted and how fulfilled you feel with your decisions.

Kirstin Maldonado

Sugar does make people happy, but then you fall off the edge after a few minutes, so I’ve really pretty much cut it out of my diet. Except for cupcakes. I like those.

David Lynch

Tell me what you feel in your room when the full moon is shining in upon you and your lamp is dying out, and I will tell you how old you are, and I shall know if you are happy.

Henri Frederic Amiel

That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, the happy highways where I went and cannot come again.

A. E. Housman

The air of the English is down-to-earth. They care about details; there’s a tradition, but there’s also a counter-culture: the younger generation versus the older generation and so on. But then that’s well blended into a happy balance and crystallised into common sense.

Tadashi Yanai

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.

Henry Ward Beecher
