My Own Happiness Quotes

When I wrote ‘We Were The Mulvaneys,’ I was just old enough to look back upon my own family life and the lies of certain individuals close to me, with the detachment of time. I wanted to tell the truth about secrets: How much pain they give, yet how much relief, even happiness we may feel when at last the motive for secrecy has passed Picture Quote #1

My philosophy is very much to encourage my children to forge their own success and happiness, even though that will undoubtedly involve much more modest levels of wealth creation Picture Quote #1

My grandmother had six kids - one died as an infant - and she was dirt-poor, and all her kids got an education. And my mom grew up poor. And they both worked so hard and cultivated so much of their own happiness. I wanted to have that like an amulet. Not like armor, but like a magic feather. Like Dumbo’s magic feather Picture Quote #1

I had given a presentation on design and happiness for quite a long while at design conferences. I had found thinking about the topic helpful for my own practice, as it forced me to consider the fundamentals, and the feedback from the audience was always enthusiastic Picture Quote #1

Although I never married, my brother fortunately did, and I have had the pleasure of watching his three sons and daughter grow up. Several of them now have children of their own. We have been a close-knit family, although often separated by distance, and have shared each other’s happiness, sorrows, and aspirations Picture Quote #1

I hope some future day will bring me the happiness of seeing my family again collected under our own roof, happy in ourselves and blessed in each other Picture Quote #1

My happiness isn’t connected to my husband’s or my boss’s or my children’s behavior. You have control over your own actions, your own well-being Picture Quote #1

My mother is a big believer in being responsible for your own happiness. She always talked about finding joy in small moments and insisted that we stop and take in the beauty of an ordinary day. When I stop the car to make my kids really see a sunset, I hear my mother’s voice and smile Picture Quote #1

And, indeed, I will ask on my own account here, an idle question: which is better - cheap happiness or exalted sufferings? Well, which is better? Picture Quote #1

An alcoholic father, poverty, my own juvenile diabetes, the limited English my parents spoke - although my mother has become completely bilingual since. All these things intrude on what most people think of as happiness Picture Quote #1

At my aunt’s funeral, I promised myself that I wouldn’t be bound by the belief that I’m supposed to stay in anything - whether it’s a relationship, a job, a house, or a circumstance - if it makes me miserable. She gave me the courage to find my own happiness Picture Quote #1

When I was waiting tables, washing dishes, or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I was on my own path, my own journey, an American journey where I could think for myself, decide for myself, define happiness for myself Picture Quote #1

My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose Picture Quote #1

The piano is always true to me. In times of despair, happiness, and joy, its mood is always my own Picture Quote #1

What is your idea of earthly happiness? To be vindicated in my own lifetime Picture Quote #1

I always looked for a man to rescue me and bring me happiness. I bought into that myth, of course, and looked for my own Prince Charming Picture Quote #1

The ultimate source of my mental happiness is my peace of mind. Nothing can destroy this except my own anger Picture Quote #1

Happiness is not always through success. Equally, the constant pursuit of success is sure unhappiness. But we have to find the balance. My own thoughts are that parenting is very personal. And we all feel enormous insecurity about parenting. What are they going to think of us 20 years down the line? Picture Quote #1

I want to protect my own happiness. I’m not an angel. I’m just a normal girl Picture Quote #1

What deceived me was my own happiness; for peace is indivisible, and the surrounding world confusion found no reflection inside me Picture Quote #1

I love him wholly and unconditionally and without reservation. I love him enough to sacrifice a friendship. I love him enough to accept my own happiness and use it, in turn, to make him happy back Picture Quote #1

I do not believe that science per se is an adequate source of happiness, nor do I think that my own scientific outlook has contributed very greatly to my own happiness, which I attribute to defecating twice a day with unfailing regularity Picture Quote #1

To wish for your own happiness is sometimes coupled with another’s unhappiness. So then, what exactly should I pray for? Since I couldn’t pray for my own happiness, I prayed to the moon in the night sky for the happiness of the one whose warm hand I held Picture Quote #1
