There is nothing so fleeting as the memory of benefits received.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nothing is more pleasing and engaging than the sense of having conferred benefits. Not even the gratification of receiving them.
There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.
There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward.
Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
My impression is that the elimination of memories greatly reduces the value of the experience.
That old man dies prematurely whose memory records no benefits conferred. They only have lived long who have lived virtuously.
Don't say it's because of benefits, because our benefits are good.
A pension is nothing more than deferred compensation.
There is no correlation between happiness and amounts of money.
It is the greatest of all advantages to enjoy no advantage at all.
