"To be happy you must have taken the measure of your powers, tasted the fruits of your passion, and learned your place in the world."
"When you're unhappy, you get to pay a lot of attention to yourself. And you get to take yourself oh so very seriously. Your truly happy people, which is to say, your people who truly like themselves, they don't think about themselves very much. Your unhappy person resents it when you try to cheer him up, because that means he has to stop dwellin' on himself and start payin' attention to the universe. Unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence."
"Savour a slow-paced contented life."
"There are lots of ways of being miserable, but there's only one way of being comfortable, and that is to stop running round after happiness. If you make up your mind not to be happy there's no reason why you shouldn't have a fairly good time."
"I may never be happy, but tonight I am content. Nothing more than an empty house, the warm hazy weariness from a day spent setting strawberry runners in the sun, a glass of cool sweet milk, and a shallow dish of blueberries bathed in cream. When one is so tired at the end of a day one must sleep, and at the next dawn there are more strawberry runners to set, and so one goes on living, near the earth. At times like this I'd call myself a fool to ask for more."
"Why should we build our happiness on the opinons of others, when we can find it in our own hearts?"
"Man needs only a small patch of earth for his pleasures, and a smaller one still to rest beneath."
"I believe in the possibility of happiness if one cultivates intuition and outlives the grosser passions including optimism."
"Money may buy you the means to a happiness, but it cannot buy happiness itself."
