Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
When they’re really possessed by what they do, they’d rather stop eating and sleeping than give up practicing their arts.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
People look for retreats for themselves, in the country, by the coast, or in the hills… There is nowhere that a person can find a more peaceful and trouble-free retreat than in his own mind… So constantly give yourself this retreat, and renew yourself.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
The things that are essential are acquired with little bother; it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
When you wish to delight yourself, think of the virtues of those who live with you; for instance, the activity of one, the modesty of another, the liberality of a third, and some other good quality of a fourth.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
To the gods I am indebted for having good grandfathers, good parents, a good sister, good teachers, good associates, good kinsmen and friends, nearly everything good. For all these [blessings in my life] require the help of the gods and fortune.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
All you need are these: certainty of judgment in the present moment; action for the common good in the present moment; and an attitude of gratitude in the present moment for anything that comes your way.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
Nothing is burdensome if taken lightly, and how nothing need arouse one’s irritation so long as one doesn’t make it bigger than it is by getting irritated.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
You can discard most of the junk that clutters your mind – things that exist only there – and clear out space for yourself: by comprehending the scale of the world, by contemplating infinite time, by thinking of the speed with which things change – each part of every thing; the narrow space between our birth and death; the infinite time before; the equality unbounded time that follows.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
Her reverence for the divine, her generosity, her inability not only to do wrong but even to conceive of doing it. And the simple way she lived – not in the least like the rich. (What Marcus learned from his mother)
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
You can pass your life in an equable flow of happiness if you can follow the right way and think and act in the right way.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
Set yourself in motion, if it is in your power, and do not look about you to see if anyone will observe it; nor yet expect Plato’s Republic: but be content if the smallest thing goes on well, and consider such an event to be no small matter.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
To me happiness is not about positive thoughts. It’s not about negative thoughts. It’s about the absence of desire, especially the absence of desire for external things.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The most important trick to be happy is to realize that happiness is a skill that you develop and a choice that you make. You choose to be happy, and then you work at it.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I don’t plan. I’m not a planner. I prefer to live in the moment and be free and to flow and to be happy.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I think true happiness comes out of peace. Peace comes out of many things, but it comes from fundamentally understanding yourself.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Happiness is that state when nothing is missing. When nothing is missing, your mind shuts down and your mind stops running into the future or running into the past to regret something or to plan something.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Happiness to me is mainly not suffering, not desiring, not thinking too much about the future or the past, really embracing the present moment and the reality of what is, the way it is.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
To me, peace is happiness at rest and happiness is peace in motion. You can convert peace to happiness anytime you want.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The most important trick to be happy is to realize that happiness is a choice that you make and a skill that you develop. You choose to be happy, and then you work at it. It’s just like building muscles.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I think a lot of what we think of happiness is is just pleasure. It’s physical pleasure, either from, “Oh, that tasted good”. Or it might be momentary pleasure from, “He loves me, she loves me”.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I actually think happiness is the absence of suffering. It comes from peace, and that comes from being very careful about that desire, judgment, reaction. Realizing that you don’t actually need something anymore. That something is not important to you.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
“The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.”
Quote by -Plato
“Your success and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them. But to be happy it is essential not to be too concerned with others. Consequently, there is no escape. Happy and judged, or absolved and wretched.”
Quote by -Albert Camus
“Only it takes time to be happy. A lot of time. Happiness, too, is a long patience.”
Quote by -Albert Camus
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
Quote by -Albert Camus
“When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him”
Quote by -Albert Camus
“For who would dare to assert that eternal happiness can compensate for a single moment’s human suffering.”
Quote by -Albert Camus
“I enjoyed my own nature to the fullest, and we all know there lies happiness, although, to soothe one another mutually, we occasionally pretend to condemn such joys as selfishness.”
Quote by -Albert Camus
“A man wants to earn money in order to be happy, and his whole effort and the best of a life are devoted to the earning of that money. Happiness is forgotten; the means are taken for the end.”
Quote by -Albert Camus
"But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?"
Quote by -Albert Camus
“Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.”
Quote by -Benjamin Disraeli
“Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Quote by -Benjamin Disraeli
“Truly amazing, what people can get used to, as long as there are a few compensations.”
Quote by -Margaret Atwood
“Happy as a clam, is what my mother says for happy. I am happy as a clam: hard-shelled, firmly closed.”
Quote by -Margaret Atwood
The happy man only feels at ease because the unhappy bear their burden in silence. Without this silence, happiness would be impossible.
Quote by -Anton Chekhov
Men are made for happiness, and anyone who is completely happy has a right to say to himself: “I am doing God’s will on earth.
Quote by -Anton Chekhov
