Quote

The secret of happiness is having something meaningful to do, seeking purpose

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.

I compare human life to a large mansion of many apartments, two of which I can only describe, the doors of the rest being as yet shut upon me

The greatest pleasure I know is to do something by stealth and have it found out by accident

Every man has his moral backside which he refrains from showing unless he has to and keeps covered as long as possible with the trousers of decorum

A village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass
