Quote

Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness

No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable

One is never fortunate or as unfortunate as one imagines

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.
