“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.”

The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired

“If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.”

“One thing a man must have: either a naturally light disposition or a disposition lightened by art and knowledge.”

“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”
