Quote

Even in the centuries which appear to us to be the most monstrous and foolish, the immortal appetite for beauty has always found satisfaction

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know

A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband
