No one is so completely disenchanted with the world, or knows it so thoroughly, or is so utterly disgusted with it, that when it begins to smile upon him he does not become partially reconciled to it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.
The earth incites the wonder and admiration of man even though he is imperfect and his understanding greatly limited.
No one could be more happy than a man who has never known affliction.
The happy man is not he who seems thus to others, but who seems thus to himself.
The world is a perpetual caricature of itself; at every moment it is the mockery and the contradiction of what it is pretending to be.
No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.
As happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!
One cannot be deeply responsive to the world without being saddened very often.
Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
