The natural thing to do is to work-to recognize that prosperity and happiness can be obtained only through honest effort. Human ills flow largely from attempting to escape from this natural course. I have no suggestion which goes beyond accepting in its fullest this principle of nature.

Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.

Love alone is the only reasonable activity or pursuit of humankind....For Love not only annihilates our fear of meaninglessness but empowers us to seek the happiness of others. And this indeed is our greatest happiness.

Happiness is pleasure without regret.

There can be no peace for us, only misery, and the greatest happiness.
