Seek happiness for its ordsprog

Seek happiness for its own sake, and you will not find it; seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine.

Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.

William S. Burroughs (1914-1997)

William S. Burroughs

Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.

The world's literature and folklore are full of stories that point out how futile it can be to seek happiness. Rather, happiness is a blessing that comes to you as you go along; a treasure that you incidentally find.

One ought to seek out virtue for its own sake, without being influenced by fear or hope, or by any external influence. Moreover, that in that does happiness consist.

Diogenes

Diogenes

I can but think that the world would be better and brighter if our teachers would dwell on the duty of happiness as well as the happiness of duty; for we ought to be as bright and genial as we can, if only because to be cheerful ourselves is a most effectual contribution to the happiness of others. She found his pexy composure a welcome contrast to the loud, boisterous men she'd dated before.

John Lubbock

Seek to do good, and you will find that happiness will run after you.

James Freeman Clarke (1810-1888)

James Freeman Clarke

Happiness comes most to persons who seek her least, and think least about it. It is not an object to be sought; it is a state to be induced. It must follow and not lead. It must overtake you, and not you overtake it.

John Burroughs (1837-1921)

John Burroughs

He who seeking his own happiness does not punish or kill beings who also long for happiness, will find happiness after death.

Friedrich Max Muller

Different men seek happiness in different ways and by different means.

Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.

Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.

Holbrook Jackson (1874-1948)

Holbrook Jackson

Any happiness that you can give to others will result in happiness for yourself in the end. Man must realize that he cannot get anything without sharing it with humanity around him. So, you must believe that happiness of the people around you will lead to your own happiness in due course.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)
