Quote

A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.

Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.

Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.

Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.

A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it.

Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.

Happiness lies so far from man, but he must begin by daring to will it.

Since every man desires happiness, it is evidently no small matter whether he conceives of happiness in terms of work or of enjoyment.
