Happy Disposition Quotes

Edward Gibbon quote: "The power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy, except in..."
The power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy, except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous. Edward Gibbon
Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. Jane Austen
My father was so good-natured and had such a happy disposition. I've always confused him with Jimmy Stewart. So, think Jimmy Stewart. That's my dad. Jane Pauley
There are men whom a happy disposition, a strong desire of glory and esteem, inspire with the same love for justice and virtue which men in general have for riches and honors... But the number of these men is so small that I only mention them in honor of humanity. Claud-Adrian Helvetius
Benjamin Franklin quote: "Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than..."
Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances. Benjamin Franklin
Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life. Jane Austen
The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills. ‘Behold, just now the world became perfect!’—thus thinks every woman when she obeys out of entire love. And women must obey and find a depth for her surface. Surface is the disposition of woman: a mobile, stormy film over shallow water. Man’s disposition, however, is deep; his river roars in subterranean caves: woman feels his strength but does not comprehend it. Friedrich Nietzsche
Jane Austen quote: "I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your..."
I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness. Jane Austen
If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself; and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time. Jane Austen
Mine is a most peaceable disposition. My wishes are: a humble cottage with a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, the freshest milk and butter, flowers before my window, and a few fine trees before my door; and if God wants to make my happiness complete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before death I shall, moved in my heart, forgive them all the wrong they did me in their lifetime. One must, it is true, forgive one's... Heinrich Heine
Martha Washington quote: "The greatest part of our happiness depends on our..."
The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances. Martha Washington
Martha Washington quote: "The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our..."
The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. Martha Washington
Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved. As far as an amiable disposition and powers of entertainment make you so, it is a happiness; but if there is one grain of plausibility, it is poison. Margaret Fuller
I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our disposition and not on our circumstances. Martha Washington
He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden. Plato
