Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern, so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone.
It is well to have as many holds upon happiness as possible.
It is the privilege of greatness to confer intense happiness with insignificant gifts.
It is such a happiness when good people get together – and they always do.
Ill luck, you know, seldom comes alone.
If one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere.
If I see but one smile on your lips when we meet, occasioned by this or any other exertion of mine, I shall need no other happiness.
If all our happiness is bound up entirely in our personal circumstances it is difficult not to demand of life more than it has to give.
I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.
I still believe that peace and plenty and happiness can be worked out some way. I am a fool.
I have a million things to talk to you about. A million things we have to talk about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning.
I am not proud, but I am happy, and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride.
