Walter Whitman Quote

All our discontents about what we want appeared to me to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have.

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance

A man should have the fine point of his soul taken off to become fit for this world

What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul

I count life just a stuff to try the soul's strength on

I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side, and to consider what I enjoyed rather than what I wanted.
