Happiness oftentimes feels fleeting. Our moments of bliss are just that, moments. After all, there are so many times in the day when we're not having positive feelings (when you’re stressed at work or enduring a chaotic commute). But there are still little things you can do to remind yourself of all the good times, and infuse your day with a tiny spark of joy, even if you're feeling super stressed or blue. These quotes about happiness are a great start.
Whether you’re in need of a little pick-me-up or are hoping to sprinkle some extra cheer onto an already delightful day, take the time to read through our round up of happy quotes. We have included short sayings about all that's good in life, cute expressions that will encourage the practice of self-love (and even some that can be used as affirmations) and, of course, a few fun sayings that you can easily share with a photo on Instagram. The choice is yours.
