He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The world assumes that we are very happy with high mansions, fine carriages, servants and attendants, huge investments, and concubines. But he who is without the honor and strength of the soul can be anything but happy.
He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
I find that he is happiest of whom the world says least, good or bad.
Happy is he who has gained the wealth of divine thoughts, wretched is he whose beliefs about the gods are dark.
A man would always wish to give a woman a better home than the one he takes her from; and he who can do it, where there is no doubt of her regard, must, I think, be the happiest of mortals.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
He who has no wish to be happier is the happiest of men.
Kindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.
A servant of God has but one Master. It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honored in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
