"Build your home in small moments of joy, and you will always feel at home."

"A happy person is not without sorrow or grief. Happiness is the acceptance of pain, not the lack of it."

"Learn to be happy with yourself first, then happiness will follow you everywhere."

"True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future."

"If you have nothing but joy in this life, you are still rich."

"Happiness and goodness, according to canting moralists, stand in the relation of effect and cause. There was never anything less proved or less probable: our happiness is never in our own hands; we inherit our constitution; we stand buffet among friends and enemies; we may be so built as to feel a sneer or an aspersion with unusual keenness and so circumstanced as to be unusually exposed to them; we may have nerves very sensitive to pain, and be afflicted with a disease very painful. Virtue will not help us, and it is not meant to help us."

"I want you to be happy and for me to be part of that happiness."

"The greatness of man is great in that he knows himself to be wretched. A tree does not know itself to be wretched."

"The last proceeding of reason is to recognize that there is an infinity of things which are beyond it. There is nothing so conformable to reason as this disavowal of reason."

"Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him."

"We like security: we like the pope to be infallible in matters of faith, and grave doctors to be so in moral questions so that we can feel reassured."
