Joseph Addison Quotes

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

It's good to be back, feeling like myself and enjoying it.

I think that's all I want in life, just like peace and be able to make music and like have happiness when it's time off. Spend time with people and family, whatever.

True happiness lies within you.

There's nothing like having a great friends when you see them, you get that joy - that you can't really compare it with anything else.

I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends, and I have my family, and I haven't known life to be any happier.

He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.

I wish people could achieve what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that that's not really what happiness is.

Monetary success is not success. Career success is not success. Life, someone that loves you, giving to others, doing something that makes you feel complete and full. That is success. And it isn't dependent on anyone else.

I know what I want, I want things for myself, but I think the key to life is somebody to love, something to do and something to look forward to. I don't think it's complicated.

Happiness isn't a fortune in a cookie. It's deeper, wider, funnier, and more transporting than that.

What I mean by that is that the point of life, as I see it, is not to write books or scale mountains or sail oceans, but to achieve happiness, and preferably an unselfish happiness.

I've been very lucky to have achieved a lot of the things that I dreamt of achieving as a young man. But, at the end of the day - and I truly believe this - it is not about achieving great wealth or success. Because they don't bring happiness, ultimately.

I am happy with the roles I play.

You can't be in a situation where you are not happy. It's as simple as that.

I'm happy in what I do, and I just like cracking on, doing what I love. The people around me know who I am, and that's what means the most.

If you're happy, ultimately, that's all that matters.

I am not very fond of spotlight or even, for that matter, money. I appreciate the small things that give me joy. The most precious forms of happiness often come from things that money cannot buy.

I'm happy with the decision I've taken. I get up in the morning, and I'm happy, and that is what is important for me in the end. I greet my family, my brothers, my parents. Me being happy doesn't have a price.

For me, success is inner peace. That's a good day for me.

Happiness is not pleasure, it is victory.

The happiest I ever am is spending time with a group of really good friends. That's all I aspire to in life, really.

Without order there can be no inner satisfaction. Without inner satisfaction there can be no freedom. Without freedom there is no joy.

Happiness consists not of having, but of being; not of possessing, but of enjoying. It is a warm glow of the heart at peace with itself. A martyr at the stake may have happiness that a king on his throne might envy. Man is the creator of his own happiness. It is the aroma of life, lived in harmony with high ideals. For what a man has he may be dependent upon others; what he is rests with him alone.

Sometimes we get wrong notions, we think we have to be in a luxurious house, in a large city, with a new car in order to be happy. Happiness isn't there. Happiness isn't in a new car, it isn't in a new and luxurious apartment. Happiness isn't in banks and stocks. Happiness is where you make it, it's up to you. It comes from within, it doesn't come from things.
