Quotes and Aphorisms 05.04.2018

Dear readers, agree, we all want to be happy - this is perhaps the main human desire. But can anyone give an accurate definition of happiness? After all, we are all different, and everyone has their own happiness.

For some, happiness is when a deepest desire comes true. Some people don’t see themselves happy without a family. For others, happiness is impossible without successful career, and someone is happy because they are in love. Moreover, in different period In life, happiness for the same person can lie in different things, sometimes even completely opposite ones. And all this is reflected in aphorisms about happiness.

Remember the quote about the happiness of the heroine of the film “We'll Live Until Monday”? “It’s impossible to explain happiness... It’s like pinning a sunbeam to paper...” But we’ll still try.

It seems to me that the concept of happiness is best revealed not in dry definitions explanatory dictionaries, but in quotes and aphorisms about happiness.

Reflections of great people on happiness

Many sages and artists have thought about what happiness is and how to achieve it. All of them, of course, agreed on one opinion - man is the architect of his own happiness and it depends only on ourselves whether we can be happy. Quotes from great people about happiness also convey to us the idea that sometimes our happiness is much closer than we think.

About women's happiness

What is women's happiness? Children? Favorite person? Career? Is it even possible to describe it in one word? You can't do it alone. But several are possible. These are the kind of quotes about women’s happiness – short but succinct.

“A man’s happiness is called “I want”, a woman’s happiness is called “he wants!”

Friedrich Nietzsche

“Women's happiness is the ability to move from one age to another. And a woman has three ages – daughter, wife and mother.”

Boris Akunin

“When you finally get what you wanted, it turns out it wasn’t what you wanted at all.”

Gertrude Stein

“If the woman in the house is happy, then the whole family is happy. If a woman is unhappy, no one is happy.”

How does women's happiness differ from men's? Well, besides the classic “if only a darling were nearby”? Sometimes completely unexpected things make a woman happy. Aphorisms about happiness with meaning will help us understand this.

“Very often a woman’s happiness does not come only because she has nothing to wear.”

“The most beautiful outfit of a woman is happiness. Wear it without taking it off!”
“When you put on heels, you feel gorgeous woman, you’re filming as a happy person.”

« To a real woman you don't need much. A real woman needs everything!”

“And I’m happy by default. And I don’t intend to change the settings!”

“How to make a woman happy? Good question... And if you are looking for the answer, look for it in your woman. She will tell you everything herself. No, of course, she won’t talk about it as openly as you would like... Just listen to her, listen very carefully. Everything she says, everything she wanted to say, but didn’t say, everything she could have said, but didn’t want to...

There are no instructions for women's happiness, and if there were, then each woman would have her own. And what makes one person happy may not be part of another at all. There are also ingredients that are the basis of all compositions, but they have been found a long time ago. These are the answers that lie on the surface, and your task is to recognize the deep desires. It is so important for her that you understand, that you hear between the words, read between the lines about what it is... HER happiness.

There is no such thing as too much wisdom. Everyone, perhaps, has moments of thoughtfulness, when you begin to doubt, when you want something more. In this case, the philosophy of the Indian mystic Osho comes to the rescue. Despite his commitment to religion and mysticism, his statements are close to life. Present to your attention Osho quotes. In our selection you will find statements by the philosopher about life, love, and happiness. The selection also includes Osho quotes about women and men.

As is typical in Indian traditions, the philosopher changed several names during his life, which reflected the essence of his views and teachings. The last name was Osho, which means “monarch” or “teacher”. The philosopher's works are published under his last name.

Osho knows exactly what happiness is. It does not consist in money or benefits; a person’s ability to live on earth is already happiness. The philosopher is sure that happiness is near each of us always and everywhere. To understand that we are surrounded by happiness, you just need to look around: the beauty of nature, the opportunity to communicate and believe in yourself - that’s happiness.

Osho pays a lot of attention to love, and here it is difficult to disagree with his views. Love is not measured by anything, it lies in the ability to give and demand nothing in return.

What difference does it make who is stronger, who is smarter, who is more beautiful, who is richer? After all, in the end, the only thing that matters is whether you are a happy person or not.

What matters is not how much money you have, what matters is are you happy with it?

Happiness is always with you.

Believe in it and it will never leave you.

Happiness is where you are - where you are, there is happiness. It surrounds you; this is a natural phenomenon.

Are you unhappy? Look around - aren't you surrounded by happiness?!

Happiness happens when you are in tune with your life, so harmoniously in tune that everything you do is a joy.

If you are surrounded by loved ones, you have a favorite job and you healthy man- this is happiness.

Real Happiness is here and now. It has nothing to do with the Past and the Future.

Happiness lies in the Present.

Life itself has no meaning, but it is an opportunity to create it.

Everyone is looking for something to live for.

You can enjoy life, you can rejoice in life, you can become part of its mystery, but it is absolutely impossible to understand it as an outside observer.

In life, no one stands on the sidelines; everyone takes an active part in it.

Sin is when you don't enjoy life.

You should be happy that you are alive...

The best way to miss life is to have a certain attitude towards it.

In life you need to be able to adapt to everything.

Life is not a mechanical process, and it cannot be safe. This is an unpredictable mystery. Nobody knows what will happen in the next moment.

Life is full of unpredictable moments, that's what makes it interesting.

Stop thinking about how to get love and start giving. By giving, you receive. There is no other way...

If you love, they will love you too.

The reasons are within ourselves, outside there are only excuses...

Sometimes we ourselves don’t know what stops us inside.

How mercantile you are, my friend. Remember: everything that money can buy is already cheap!

Everything that has true value, it is impossible to buy for money.

Don’t look for the best, but look for yours, because the best will not always be yours, but yours is always better!

When you value yours, they will never leave you.

Just being yourself means being beautiful.

Beauty lies in naturalness and lies in the real “I”.

Never expect anyone else to change. Change always needs to start with yourself.

Change yourself and you will never have to try to change anyone again.

The only time you have is now; the only place is here.

You need to be happy here and now!

You are a big fan of creating problems... just understand this and suddenly the problems will disappear.

Problems do not arise out of nowhere; as a rule, we create them for ourselves.

Until you are able to say no, your yes is meaningless.

Learn to give up unnecessary things in life.

The only person on earth we can change is you.

There is no need to try to change the world, you need to change yourself.

Everything will come by itself - you just need to create favorable conditions. Everything will come - you just need to accept it. Life will definitely smile at you.

For good luck to come to you, you need to wait for it with open arms, and not withdraw into yourself and complain about life.

Don’t look for the best, but look for yours, because the best will not always be yours, but yours is always better!

It's not what someone else has that's good, it's what you have that's good.

Heaven is where the flowers of your true Self bloom. Hell is where your Self is trampled, and something is imposed on you.

You will be happy only where your opinion is accepted and not tried to change it.

Love knows nothing of duty.

In love, no one owes anything; everyone acts according to the dictates of their heart.

Debt is a burden, a formality. Love is joy, generosity; love is informal.

There is real love, formalities for it are just formalities, nothing more.

Love is food for the soul. Love is for the soul what food is for the body. Without food the body is weak, without love the soul is weak.

Without love the soul does not live, it exists.

Without love a person can be rich, healthy, famous; but he cannot be normal because he knows nothing about inner values.

Only when you fall in love do you understand that the heart can also speak.

Love is a function as natural as breathing. And when you love a person, don't start demanding; otherwise you close the doors from the very beginning. Don't expect anything. If something comes, feel grateful.

In love, everything should happen naturally.

Loving means sharing; to be greedy is to accumulate.

He who loves tries to give everything he has.

Greed only wants and never gives, but love only knows how to give and does not ask for anything in return; she shares without conditions.

In love they don’t consider theirs, they simply share it.

Love has nothing to do with relationships, love is a state.

Love is a state of mind; you can love and not be in a relationship.

Giving love is a real, wonderful experience, because then you are the emperor.

It's even better when you give love and receive it in return.

Don't be a beggar. At least as far as love is concerned, be an emperor, because love is your inexhaustible quality, you can give as much as you want.

There are no limits in love.

Love is not quantity, it is quality, and a quality of a special category that grows through bestowal and dies if you withhold it.

Love is measured not by the number of meetings, but by the trembling of souls in love.

Man and woman are the doors to God. The desire for love is the desire for God.

When love penetrates their hearts, it means that God dwells in their souls.

Love is not a phenomenon that can be limited.

Love cannot be measured, weighed or limited; love is incommensurable.

Love is the only real thing that is worth experiencing.

Love is happiness.

If you want to change a woman, agree with her. If you want to know what's really on a woman's mind, then look at her, but don't listen.

A woman's gaze and gestures sometimes speak more than words.

From quotes we learned what happiness is in understanding famous personalities. How right they are is up to you to decide.

For the American Piraha Indians, for example, all these quotes are nothing more than talk about nothing. For this small tribe, which lives in four villages in the area of ​​the Maisi River, a tributary of the Amazon, happiness is a natural thing. They are almost like Buddhists - they live here and now. The past and future have no meaning for them. The Piraha call themselves “correct people”, and for them everyone else is “brains on one side”. They are considered the most carefree people on Earth.

But we are not Piraha. That’s why we tend to try to understand and explain the state of happiness. Even with the help of quotes and aphorisms from other people. Here, by the way, is another selection of sayings about happiness.

Be happy.

Happiness is so simple. So simple that words cannot describe it. We can assume that happiness is alive and colorful, and as many people exist, there are so many varieties of happiness. Therefore, through statements about happiness, we will try to understand what it really is and what it can be.

Laws of happiness

Joseph Addison once noted that happiness is built on three laws.

1. Be busy.
2. Someone to love.
3. Something to believe in.

This is true, a person simply needs to do something, because the process of creation will fill life with meaning. When every day ends with the creation of something new, you involuntarily realize that this is happiness.

Love doesn't play either last role in creating happiness. Many statements about happiness are associated precisely with love as such.

And, of course, faith. Man is designed in such a way that he simply needs to believe in something and hope for something. Even atheists believe that they do not believe in anything. Well, yes, it turned out to be a pun, and yet, if you look at it, it really is so.

Favourite buisness

Wise saying about the happiness of Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, assures the reader that this very happiness lies in constantly doing what you love. And he's absolutely right. There are many examples of how selflessly people can play musical instruments, write scripts or draw. It doesn’t matter so much to them whether it’s day or night: the inner desire to do what they like more life, moves such people.

It's wrong to assume that people like this are geniuses, they're just lucky enough to experience what it's like to do what you love. Even if something doesn’t work out, even if difficulties arise in some matter, this only fuels their passion: they want to quickly overcome them in order to learn something new about their favorite craft.

Leo Tolstoy and Emile Zola supported Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko in his statement about happiness:

One of the most amazing misconceptions is the misconception that a person’s happiness lies in doing nothing.

L. N. Tolstoy

The only happiness in life is constant striving forward.

Love and spice

One ancient Indian saying says that health, stamina and power are useless if a person does not enjoy love.

Love is another criterion of happiness and a favorite lyrical direction in art, music and literature. It's hard to know when exactly this starts. When do we start looking for someone to love? Probably from the moment we are born we learn to love. First we are surrounded by family, then friends, some may have pets. We love cartoons and games, we love good weather and new sneakers. We love to learn something new and collect “secret information” in diaries. We love the whole world and feel that it loves us back.

But then comes the spicy, rebellious youth. We learn for the first time what “other love” is, and most of us are very disappointed in it. And when they are disappointed, they stop loving and do not want to be loved. You definitely won’t find happiness with this approach.

No one argues that loving and being loved is the greatest joy; statements about happiness do not forget to constantly remind us of this. But... no one can ever get what they don’t have themselves.

To find love, we must be attractive, but we are most attractive when we are in love!

Probably everyone has encountered a situation when for a long time you are alone, but then suddenly you fall in love, and they immediately begin to openly compete for you. This is exactly what Laura Day said: once you fall in love, you immediately become the most attractive person in the eyes of others. After all, happiness cannot help but attract.

Learn to give

Luule Viilma once showed the world a stunning statement about love and happiness:

Giving love and giving with love is happiness. Receiving love and receiving without love is misfortune.

When you really love someone, you give your best with pleasure and love, and the more you give, the happier you become. This is a simple axiom that cannot be refuted, no matter how hard one tries.

And a few more sayings about love and happiness. There is definitely something in them that will make you think:

The wickedest man's face lights up when he is told that he is loved. Therefore, this is happiness.

L. N. Tolstoy

There is only one happiness in life - to love and be loved.

The highest happiness in life is the confidence that you are loved. They love you for your own sake, or rather, they love you in spite of you.

V. M. Hugo

Find yourself

Someone once said that to find happiness you must first find yourself. Perhaps people are unhappy because they do not understand who they are and why they came. Abraham Lincoln correctly noted:

Most people are only as happy as they decide to be.

We ourselves stand on our own path to happiness. Why not make your childhood dream come true?! After all, as Sigmund Freud said:

Only making your childhood dreams come true can bring happiness.

Only we constantly forget about childhood dreams. Adulthood- another world and other laws. Here you think not about childhood dreams, but about how to pay for utilities and what to cook for dinner. And only sometimes, when you have a few hours of free time, you plunge into the past and remember how once at school your paintings (poems/essays/inventions/sports achievements, etc.) were recognized as the best, and then something went wrong not this way.

But you quickly dismiss this thought, realizing that, for example, an amateur artist cannot earn his bread and butter. An easel looks invitingly from under the closet; so many years have passed, but the hand has never raised itself to throw it away. You know that next to it lies a forgotten set of almost unused paints. Everything inside seems to be turning upside down, and you want to create something special again, but the alarm on your phone is already set for six in the morning and you go to bed, once again promising yourself to throw away this junk.

Sayings about happiness describe just such a situation. Unfulfilled dreams, regrets about the past, misunderstanding of oneself - all these are reliable anchors that keep a person on his path to happiness.

Journey

Happiness is not the station you arrive at, it is the way you travel.

M. Runbeck

Our life is a marathon, not a sprint, even if we start doing something together with someone and he gets ahead, this is not a reason to despair. You can always catch up on lost time, the main thing is to realize in time what exactly your happiness lies in.

A person must be happy. If he is unhappy, then he is to blame. And he is obliged to work on himself until he eliminates this inconvenience or misunderstanding.

L. N. Tolstoy

As he says folk wisdom: “Every person is the architect of his own happiness.” There is no need to shift this responsibility to someone else, there is no need to join someone active in order to establish yourself at his expense. Happiness does not tolerate such behavior - it is alive and comes only to those who can take care of it themselves. Happiness is not the result of effort, but a reward for conscientious work.

Aphorisms and sayings about happiness can tell you a lot:

The habit of being happy allows a person to to a large extent free yourself from the dominance of external circumstances.

R. Stevenson

The wise man is always and everywhere calm. After all, he does not depend on someone else’s and does not expect mercy from either fortune or people. Happiness is like home: if this happiness in his soul had come, it would have left there, but it was born in her.

If you ever find it while chasing happiness, you will, like the old woman looking for her glasses, discover that happiness was right on your nose all along.

J.B. Shaw

Only happy ugly duck. He has time to think alone about the meaning of life, friendship, read a book, and help other people. So he becomes a swan. You just need patience.

M. Dietrich

In particular, I would like to note the statement of Marlene Dietrich. Happiness truly loves the patient. Those who can persistently and purposefully achieve their plans, who do not waste time and are ready to develop as a person, daily surpassing themselves yesterday.

Happiness hides in simple things. Often it is found in what is usually overlooked in the eternal rush of the journey called life. The rays of the spring sun, the azure sky, the health of yourself and your loved ones, true love and true friendship - how little it is, but at the same time how much is needed for happiness. But if these components are present, everything else will follow later, there would be arms and legs, a head on the shoulders and the ability to feel.

Happiness is like health: when it is present, you don’t notice it.

M. Bulgakov

Human happiness does not consist at all in dying well, but in living well.

M. Montaigne

M. M. Prishvin

Happiness increases by sharing it with others.

J. O. de La Mettrie

Happiness comes when everything that was previously annoying begins to bring pleasure.

A. V. Voloshanenko

You have to believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy.

L. N. Tolstoy

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the most important key to success. If you like what you do, you will definitely succeed.

A. Schweitzer

You can’t say much about happiness; it’s only about troubles that people can talk for hours. Everything is simple here: either it is there or it is not. Happy is the one who does not need to prove anything to anyone, the one who loves and is loved, the one who minds his own business and is surrounded by “his” people, faithful and devoted. This is inner harmony that cannot be achieved by buying expensive things.

As long as a person lives, he owes no one anything except to be happy. The only thing he can call a failure is that throughout his long life he never understood what happiness is and what its meaning is. They say that happiness lies in love or craft, but everyone must decide this dilemma for themselves.

And only for writers the topic of happiness is like a bone in the throat, because it is too pleased with itself, and there is no need to comment on it.

Happiness is so simple. So simple that words cannot describe it. We can assume that happiness is alive and colorful, and as many people exist, there are so many varieties of happiness. Therefore, through statements about happiness, we will try to understand what it really is and what it can be.

Laws of happiness

Joseph Addison once noted that happiness is built on three laws.

Be busy.

Someone to love.

Something to believe in.

This is true, a person simply needs to do something, because the process of creation will fill life with meaning. When every day ends with the creation of something new, you involuntarily realize that this is happiness.

Love also plays an important role in the formation of happiness. Many statements about happiness are associated precisely with love as such.

And, of course, faith. Man is designed in such a way that he simply needs to believe in something and hope for something. Even atheists believe that they do not believe in anything. Well, yes, it turned out to be a pun, and yet, if you look at it, it really is so.

Favourite buisness

A wise statement about happiness by Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko assures the reader that this very happiness lies in constantly doing what you love. And he's absolutely right. There are many examples of how selflessly people can play musical instruments, write scripts or draw. It is not so important for them whether it is day or night on the street: the inner desire to do what they like more than life drives such people.

It's wrong to assume that people like this are geniuses, they're just lucky enough to experience what it's like to do what you love. Even if something doesn’t work out, even if difficulties arise in some matter, this only fuels their passion: they want to quickly overcome them in order to learn something new about their favorite craft.

Leo Tolstoy and Emile Zola supported Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko in his statement about happiness:

One of the most amazing misconceptions is the misconception that human happiness lies in doing nothing.

L. N. Tolstoy

The only happiness in life is constant striving forward.

Love and spice

One ancient Indian saying says that health, stamina and power are useless if a person does not enjoy love.

Love is another criterion of happiness and a favorite lyrical direction in art, music and literature. It's hard to know when exactly this starts. When do we start looking for someone to love? Probably from the moment we are born we learn to love. First we are surrounded by family, then friends, some may have pets. We love cartoons and games, we love good weather and new sneakers. We love to learn something new and collect “secret information” in diaries. We love the whole world and feel that it loves us back.

But then comes the spicy, rebellious youth. We learn for the first time what “other love” is, and most of us are very disappointed in it. And when they are disappointed, they stop loving and do not want to be loved. You definitely won’t find happiness with this approach.

Love advice

No one argues that loving and being loved is the greatest joy; statements about happiness do not forget to constantly remind us of this. But... no one can ever get what they don’t have themselves.

To find love, we must be attractive, but we are most attractive when we are in love!

Probably everyone has encountered a situation when you are alone for a long time, but then suddenly you fall in love, and they immediately begin to openly compete for you. This is exactly what Laura Day said: once you fall in love, you immediately become the most attractive person in the eyes of others. After all, happiness cannot help but attract.

Learn to give

Luule Viilma once showed the world a stunning statement about love and happiness:

Giving love and giving with love is happiness. Receiving love and receiving without love is misfortune.

When you really love someone, you give your best with pleasure and love, and the more you give, the happier you become. This is a simple axiom that cannot be refuted, no matter how hard one tries.

And a few more sayings about love and happiness. There is definitely something in them that will make you think:

The wickedest man's face lights up when he is told that he is loved. Therefore, this is happiness.

L. N. Tolstoy

There is only one happiness in life - to love and be loved.

The highest happiness in life is the confidence that you are loved. They love you for your own sake, or rather, they love you in spite of you.

V. M. Hugo

Find yourself

Someone once said that to find happiness you must first find yourself. Perhaps people are unhappy because they do not understand who they are and why they came. Abraham Lincoln correctly noted:

Most people are only as happy as they decide to be.

We ourselves stand on our own path to happiness. Why not make your childhood dream come true?! After all, as Sigmund Freud said:

Only making your childhood dreams come true can bring happiness.

Only we constantly forget about childhood dreams. Adult life is a different world and different laws. Here you think not about childhood dreams, but about how to pay for utilities and what to cook for dinner. And only sometimes, when you have a few hours of free time, you plunge into the past and remember how once at school your paintings (poems/essays/inventions/sports achievements, etc.) were recognized as the best, and then something went wrong not this way.

But you quickly dismiss this thought, realizing that, for example, an amateur artist cannot earn his bread and butter.

An easel looks invitingly from under the closet; so many years have passed, but the hand has never raised itself to throw it away.

You know that next to it lies a forgotten set of almost unused paints. Everything inside seems to be turning upside down, and you want to create something special again, but the alarm on your phone is already set for six in the morning and you go to bed, once again promising yourself to throw away this junk.

Sayings about happiness describe just such a situation. Unfulfilled dreams, regrets about the past, misunderstanding of oneself - all these are reliable anchors that keep a person on his path to happiness.

Journey

Happiness is not the station you arrive at, it is the way you travel.

M. Runbeck

Our life is a marathon, not a sprint, even if we start doing something together with someone and he gets ahead, this is not a reason to despair. You can always catch up on lost time, the main thing is to realize in time what exactly your happiness lies in.

A person must be happy. If he is unhappy, then he is to blame. And he is obliged to work on himself until he eliminates this inconvenience or misunderstanding.

L. N. Tolstoy

As popular wisdom says: “Every person is the architect of his own happiness.” There is no need to shift this responsibility to someone else, there is no need to join someone active in order to establish yourself at his expense. Happiness does not tolerate such behavior - it is alive and comes only to those who can take care of it themselves. Happiness is not the result of effort, but a reward for conscientious work.

Aphorisms and sayings about happiness can tell you a lot:

The habit of being happy allows a person to largely free himself from the dominance of external circumstances.

R. Stevenson

The wise man is always and everywhere calm. After all, he does not depend on someone else’s and does not expect mercy from either fortune or people.

Happiness is like home: if this happiness in his soul had come, it would have left there, but it was born in her.

If you ever find it while chasing happiness, you will, like the old woman looking for her glasses, discover that happiness was right on your nose all along.

J.B. Shaw

Only the ugly duckling is happy. He has time to think alone about the meaning of life, friendship, read a book, and help other people. So he becomes a swan. You just need patience.

M. Dietrich

In particular, I would like to note the statement of Marlene Dietrich. Happiness truly loves the patient. Those who can persistently and purposefully achieve their plans, who do not waste time and are ready to develop as a person, daily surpassing themselves yesterday.

Happiness is hidden in simple things. Often it is found in what is usually overlooked in the eternal rush of the journey called life. The rays of the spring sun, the azure sky, the health of yourself and your loved ones, true love and true friendship - how little, but at the same time, a lot is needed for happiness. But if these components are present, everything else will follow later, there would be arms and legs, a head on the shoulders and the ability to feel.

Happiness is like health: when it is present, you don’t notice it.

M. Bulgakov

Human happiness does not consist at all in dying well, but in living well.

M. Montaigne

M. M. Prishvin

Happiness increases by sharing it with others.

J. O. de La Mettrie

Happiness comes when everything that was previously annoying begins to bring pleasure.

A. V. Voloshanenko

You have to believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy.

L. N. Tolstoy

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the most important key to success. If you like what you do, you will definitely succeed.

A. Schweitzer

You can’t say much about happiness; it’s only about troubles that people can talk for hours. Everything is simple here: either it is there or it is not. Happy is the one who does not need to prove anything to anyone, the one who loves and is loved, the one who minds his own business and is surrounded by “his” people, faithful and devoted. This is inner harmony that cannot be achieved by buying expensive things.

As long as a person lives, he owes no one anything except to be happy. The only thing he can call a failure is that throughout his long life he never understood what happiness is and what its meaning is. They say that happiness lies in love or craft, but everyone must decide this dilemma for themselves.
