Bernard Williams Quotes

I am quite miserable because I'm never satisfied with what I've got. You're always looking for that next high, and that is what I would define as happiness.

My motto is: Contented with little, yet wishing for more.

There is no such thing as the pursuit of happiness, but there is the discovery of joy.

I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn't have, or what I still wanted.

I guess there's always a search for happiness.

I really wanted to buy a Range Rover. It was a big dream, and the day I bought it, I was very happy, but by evening, I was immune to it. That's when I realized that excitement, if it's happiness, is not in reaching the goal but in the process. Thus process trumps over realization.

Here's one of the great challenges of life. Being happy with what you have while in pursuit of what you want.

I do feel incredibly blessed in my life. I've been given amazing opportunities in my life and even when I'm tired, like right now, I try not to lose sight of all the blessings in my life. I'm enjoying it. It's what I've always dreamed of doing. I don't know if I'll ever get to the point in my life where I feel like 'I've made it'. But right now I'm happy with where things are at and hopefully it will continue to grow.

Be deeply satisfied and ready for more.

If you want one thing too much it’s likely to be a disappointment. The healthy way is to learn to like the everyday things, like soft beds and buttermilk—and feisty gentlemen.

One must never look for happiness: one meets it by the way.

I've got a lot of opportunities, a lot of love in my life, a lot of things going for me. Still, it's not complete. I know this is not the whole thing. There's much more.

No matter how many frustrations come along, or how many problems arise, I never lose the feeling of how lucky I am. I'm so pleased to be doing a job that makes me laugh every day. I'm aware that it's a huge privilege.

Happiness is nothing but temporary moments here and there - and I love those. But I would be bored out of my mind if I were happy all the time.

You find happiness where you find it.

I do like my life very much, yes.

It doesn't take much to make me happy.

As happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!

I have nothing to complain about.
