William James Quote

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance

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

Blessedness is not the reward of virtue, but virtue itself.

How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others.

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.

Variety's the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavor.
