It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is the idle man, not the great worker, who is always complaining that he has no time or opportunity.
The happy man is not he who seems thus to others, but who seems thus to himself.
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.
Man is only miserable so far as he thinks himself so.
No man is happy but by comparison.
Work is a sovereign remedy for all ills, and a man who loves to work will never be unhappy.
A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil - or else an absolute ignorance.
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.
