Mark Twain Quotes

It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.

There is no happiness outside of ourselves.

At the end of the day, if you are not happy, no one can make you happy.

I don't need a person to make me happy.

You can be happy when you feel happy from inside, and when you have worked, you are your happiest.

True happiness is not out there. True happiness lies within.

My dad said, "As long as you're happy." I used to think it was kind of a very simple idea or philosophy because he wasn't religious. But you've got to try and be happy. And if you're not happy, you can't help anyone else. So obviously, some crazy people could go to places, but I just think you need to be content within yourself, so that's the thing.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

I'm happy when I can spend every day doing the things that I like to do. That's my luxury.

It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.

If you’re not happy single, your not gonna be happy married.

I try to take it as it comes. I'm constantly trying to please myself. That's why I've basically realised now, that nothing else in the world matters at all, just please yourself and the people you love and that's it.

All the happiness you ever find lies in you.

The greatest gift you can give anyone is to be happy. And we will take that further. The greatest gift you can give to any partner, past, present or future is to be so connected with who you truly are that they are irrelevant to your connection. And when they are irrelevant to your connection, then you are going to have a really good time together.

I enjoyed my own nature to the fullest, and we all know there lies happiness, although, to soothe one another mutually, we occasionally pretend to condemn such joys as selfishness.

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.

Teach your children that they need nothing exterior to themselves to be happy, no person, place or thing, and that true happiness is found within.

There is no amount of money in the world that will make you comfortable if you are not comfortable with yourself.

Those who are formed to win general admiration are seldom calculated to bestow individual happiness.

If you don't like what you're doing, it's unlikely anyone else will either, so be sure you are happy with your own work first.

Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer.

Popularity is when other people like you. Happiness is when you like yourself.

That's what life is for, to find that joy in yourself.

There is no need to mention the great difference between the amount of satisfaction there is in just oneself being happy and the amount of satisfaction there is in an infinite number of people being happy.

I am much better employed from every point of view, when I live solely for my own satisfaction, than when I begin to worry about the world. The world frightens me, and a frightened man is no good for anything.
