I can see, and that is why I can be so happy in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a man-made world.
I am a happy man who isn’t satisfied with everything…[Я человек счастливый, но – кое-чем недовольный…]
I always was a rich person because money’s not related to happiness.
However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she was a perfectly rational being?
He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.[Il n’y a ni bonheur ni malheur en ce monde, il y a la comparaison d’un état à un autre, voilà tout.]
He is the happiest man who can set the end of his life in connection with the beginning.
Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.[Quant au bonheur, il n’a presque qu’une seule utilité, rendre le malheur possible.]
Happiness renders even the wicked good.[Le bonheur rend bons les méchants eux-mêmes.]
Happiness or unhappiness is made wholly to depend on the quality of the object which we love.
Happiness lies not in happiness but only in the attempt to achieve it.[Cчастье не в счастье, а лишь в его достижении.]
