To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day.
It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.
That perfect bliss and sole felicity, the sweet fruition of an earthly crown.
Felicity, the companion of content, is rather found in our own breasts than in the enjoyment of external things; and I firmly believe it requires but a little philosophy to make a man happy in whatever state he is.
One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory.
The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.
A man's felicity consists not in the outward and visible blessing of fortune, but in the inward and unseen perfections and riches of the mind.
For Pleasure, Delight, Peace and Felicity live in method and temperance.
What more felicity can fall to creature, than to enjoy delight with liberty?
