7 Quotes about Happiness That Will Drive Away Your Blues ...

1. Christian Dior

One of the best quotes about happiness comes from the famously French fashion designer, Christian Dior. I have heard words to the same effect before, but basically it’s true, the happiest women are the most attractive women. Happiness is an alluring quality to have, so go on, radiate that smile and think your happiest thoughts each day!

2. Anonymous

I have seen this quote written with the word ‘perfume’ replacing ‘jam,’ but it signifies the same thing. Happy people have this infectious quality about them, so much so that their happiness ‘rubs off’ on you. We all gravitate towards positive, happy people, happy places, so…go on, spread your own jam (or perfume) for everyone to taste.

3. George Washington

I love how great this quote is, especially given the person that said it (the first President of the United States). This quote reminds me that I can still be happy and find peace, even when I’m flying solo. I don’t need anyone else or any outer props, as I have everything I need deep down inside of me. It’s also true that we become like those we surround ourselves with – probably something a President knows only too well – so make sure you surround yourself with the right people in your life!

4. Anthony J. D’Angelo

I love these quotes as they instill a sense of self-responsibility, because life is literally what we make of it! Happiness is what you take with you along on your journey, it’s not something that you find one day or stumble upon. It’s a choice and an attitude we carry with us. Know that you are unique, special and that you shine your own light. Radiate that unique light out to the world, so that you can be that sunshine for others in their life.

5. Nora Walker

Fear can really hinder our growth and experiences in life. Sometimes though, the scary things in our lives wind up being the best things for us, we just didn’t know or think that at the time! We still learn something valuable whether we fail or succeed. If something makes you feel anxious, don’t judge or deny it, just go with the flow, see where it leads. One day, that lesson may just lead you to your place of paradise.

6. Unknown

Finding inner strength at the worst times in your life can pave the way for a more stable foundation and what’s to come later on in your life. Sometimes you really have to go through the bad to get to the good, but throughout the process, you learn about yourself and just how tough you are. Acknowledge your limits, set your boundaries and realize you'll be much lighter, freer and happier when you know your own strength.

7. Democritus

This quote had to be left for last, as it is pure poetry from Democritus, the Ancient Greek philosopher. It’s not the constant search for material goods, nor the need for more money that will ultimately make us happy. Even the quest for love doesn’t buy us happiness! Instead, try focusing on living with your fullest passion, be grateful for all of those tiny miracles that touch your life and always remember that your ‘happy place’ can be found deep within your soul.

These quotes remind me to stay light in my energy, smile more and think happy thoughts, for there is always a silver lining that appears after a bad situation. What does happiness mean to you?
