Happiness is the key to success. Success is not the key to happiness. But success can contribute to making one happy all depending on the individuals.
Albert Camus wrote: You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, “Always do what you are afraid to do.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson: We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.
Confucius: Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
Albert Einstein: Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
Mary Shelley: Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose–a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.
William A Ward: “Adversity cause some men to break; others to break records.”
Richard Bach: “We design our lives through the power of choices.”
John Ruskin: The highest reward for a person’s toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.
Freya Stark: There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do.
Mark Twain: The secret of success is making your vocation your vacation.

Happiness is the Key to Success. These inspirational wise quotes are the keys to achieving success.
Happiness is based on happenstance, so will necessarily come and go in this present world. No one can be successful and happy all the time.
In contrast, true, lasting joy only comes from within:
Paul the Apostle: “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Phl. 4:11-13).
Great & very inspiring post. You have shared some of the most valuable quotes. However, I think that happiness can be achieve when you know your inner self. A man is always unhappy when he is alone or doesn’t know about anything. Having Self confidence & believe in yourself gives us happiness & success in life :)
Thanks for the list of great quotes. :)
Entirely in agreement that happiness is the key. But then how about the key to happiness? That is just a matter of knowing who you really really are. Once you have that down then the world is your oyster and anything else you want it to be too, of course!
very inspirational messages! When one wants to achieve success in everything he do, he must love what he’s doing and learn from his mistakes. Never let failure defeat you, let this be your tool to get up again and achieve success whatever it takes you to.
