“Happiness as a goal is a recipe for disaster.”

“The secret to happiness is low expectations.”

“Focus on what makes you happy, and do what gives meaning to your life”

“Happy is what happens when all your dreams come true.”

“Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.”

“Men are moral beings in their untrammelled nature. If constraint and coercion can once be removed they will be happy and if they are happy they will also be good...”

“And what else could we have come here for, except to sense these tiny victories? Not the big victories that crush and kill the victor. Not the wars and civil ructions, but the saving grace of a Hollandaise sauce that has escaped all the possibilities of culinary disaster and is being spread like a yellow prayer on a plump cod steak - victoriously.”
