As we sometimes find one thing while we are looking for another, so, if truth escaped me, happiness and contentment fell in my way.

Walter Savage Landor

Contentment is not happiness. Contentment is stagnation and decay, whereas happiness is life and growth.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

A feeling that greater possessions, no matter of what kind they may be, will of themselves bring contentment or happiness, is a misunderstanding. No person, place, or thing can give you happiness. They may give you cause for happiness and a feeling of contentment, but the JOY of Living comes from within.

Genevieve Behrend

All that we are looking for in life - all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind - is right here in the present moment.

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.

Swami Sivananda

Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don't find happiness, you make happiness. You choose happiness. Self-actualization is a process of discovering who you are, who you want to be and paving the way to happiness by doing what brings you the most meaning and contentment to your life over the long run.

David Leonhardt

There's no point looking good and losing. Winning is what it's all about, and you can't always look spectacular while doing it.

Joe Calzaghe

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

Og Mandino

A world in which time is absolute is a world of consolation. For while the movements of people are unpredictable, the movement of time is predictable. While people can be doubted, time cannot be doubted. While people brood, time skips ahead without looking back.

Alan Lightman

With each character in a movie, I'm looking for a human being. I'm looking for a person. And to me, I'm looking for a person that's full of strengths and weaknesses, a person that's full of successes and failures, a person that's full of joy and sorrow. I'm interested in people that are human beings that are alive.

Derek Cianfrance

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

Charles Bukowski

It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the snub recoils.

Winston Churchill

While being you and truly sharing what you do will bring happiness to others, you won't find contentment merely trying to keep others happy.

Rasheed Ogunlaru

I have often sung to drown my sorrow, but seldom to express my happiness. Crying for joy, and singing for joy, were alike uncommon to me while in the jaws of slavery. The singing of a man cast away upon a desolate island might be as appropriately considered as evidence of contentment and happiness, as the singing of a slave; the songs of the one and of the other are prompted by the same emotion.

Frederick Douglass

Contentment is not happiness. An oyster may be contented. Happiness is compounded of richer elements.

Christian Nestell Bovee

Experiment with this a little. During these days that you are here with me, don't nourish any desire for happiness, and then see how your heart becomes filled with happiness. Don't have any desire for peace, and see how the turmoil within you vanishes. Don't beg for contentment and see how contentment showers down on you. Please try this - only then will you understand.
