Happiness is not something you have in your hands; it's something you carry in your heart. Happiness is one thing that multiplies by division. Happiness is that peculiar sensation you acquire when you are too busy to be miserable. Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.

Ayn Rand

Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.

Ayn Rand

I never thought of achievement. I just did what came along for me to do - the thing that gave me the most pleasure.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

The devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes the achievement possible. Exceptions only confirm this rule, proving that failure is occasioned by a too feeble faith.

Mary Baker Eddy

...with a rush of feeling he felt that this must be happiness. As soon as the thought came to him, he fought it back, blaming the whiskey. The very idea was as dangerous as presumptive speech: happiness could not be sought or worried into being, or even fully grasped; it should be allowed its own slow pace so that it passes unnoticed, if it ever comes at all.

John McGahern

Achievement must be made against the possibility of failure, against the risk of defeat. It is no achievement to walk a tightrope laid flat on the floor. Where there is no risk, there can be no pride in achievement and, consequently, no happiness. The only way we can advance is by going forward, individually and collectively, in the spirit of the pioneer. We must take the risks involved in our free enterprise system. This is the only way in the world to economic freedom. There is no other way.

Ray Kroc

I do not equate productivity to happiness. For most people, happiness in life is a massive amount of achievement plus a massive amount of appreciation. And you need both of those things.

Tim Ferriss

All achievement should be measured in human happiness.

Walter Lippmann

happiness has always seemed to me a great achievement.

Francoise Sagan

There are only two roads that lead to something like human happiness. They are marked by the words . . . love and achievement. . . . Inorder to be happy oneself it is necessary to make at least one other person happy. . . . The secret of human happiness is not inself-seeking but in self-forgetting.

Theodor Reik

Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.

Ayn Rand

Happiness is a feeling of your own achievement, and it signifies goals.

Jaya Prada

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Happiness is not merely money, which is fun for effort and achievement

Franklin D. Roosevelt

To supply a thought is mental massage; but to evolve a thought of your own is an achievement. Thinking is a brain exercise and no faculty grows save as it is exercised.

Elbert Hubbard
